To Have Someone

To have someone to love me 
Beyond what the eye will see 
With a true heart and all its care 
Look beyond this bodies wear
For babies born love ones gone 
a day older with rise of dawn 
Many moments of life's unfair 
Leaves the body with wear and tare
Age comes with each new day 
Leaving its mark in some new way
Skin once soft not so pure 
Eyes become weak and start to blur
Bones become bridle and sore 
You do less for you tire more
Still you ask is love out there
For this body of wear and tare
