To You, Wherever You Are

I sit here writing this message to you, My dilemma is choosing that somebody who, Will cause me to soar and fly ever higher, But this selection process has caused me to mire, I admit the candidates are of numerous sort, And hard to decipher from the initial escort, Some friends say I'm picky, some say too impatient, Some say I'll never find that perfect creation, But, since you are out there and obviously listening, Let me inform you on what you are missing, To begin, I'm not going to mention my looks, Except to say I don't hide behind books, I relate to those who find life very humorous, And repel against those who embody the tumorous, If you're searching for someone that can be predicted, You will not find my image depicted, Not that fickle or whimsical could be a feature, I'm just a bonafide, certified interesting creature, My view is that life has too much offer, In addition to ways of filling my coffer, It's like a candy store, with shelf after shelf, And I'm the one in the corner stuffing himself, But, wouldn't it be great if I could just find, Someone to share with whom I wouldn't mind, Now what should you be like, I've pondered this thought, Over and over, I get so distraught, Someone who's set and ready to go, To do whatever it takes to reach that plateau, But, if somehow we do not achieve as expected, We'll work as a team to get it corrected, Someone who relishes the quietest of times, And smiles and applauds at my silliest rhymes, Someone who climbs mountains and even climbs trees, See, I told you that I'm not too hard to please, To confront my claims with a subtle refute, And to cause my big mouth to diminish and mute, Someone who sees things different than I, And is willing to say so without being gunshy, As for children, I'm not looking for three more wise men, But, it wouldn't hurt if one could win the Heisman, Most of all, your love must run amuck, Because there will be those times when I'm just a schmuck, I know that you're out there, I'm just not sure where, But, please turn and listen as I stand and declare, I will search through the universe until the end of my life, Until I find you, my lover, my partner, My wife.
