Wanted

Someone soft and warm and sweet,
someone with a soul.
Someone for times when I am weak
to rise and take control.

Someone to stand beside her man
without thought for all his lack.
Someone that when he's not around
she still will have his back.

Someone whose laughter's made of joy
who worships God above.
Someone who knows the meaning
of the word the world calls love.

Someone I know I can forgive
who will forgive me when I'm wrong.
Someone to let me carry her
at times when she's not strong.

Someone somewhere within her lips
I know her love is true.
By the way she smiles at me
as if she sees right through.

Someone through all the thick and thin
the happiness and sorrow.
Someone that can start today
and promise me tomorrow.

Perfectly imperfect
so that the world can see.
I finally found somebody
who is a lot like me.

Edwin C Hofert

This is really nice and genuine, full of lovely touches. Competition or not, it says a lot about you and yours, and we could do with filling the world with more Hoferts, in my humble opinion. great work, Edwin. Regards, Viv

Nice! Hi Ed! Is this for the Interview Contest? Would be interesting what the sponsor says about this. I have a feeling it's a bit autobiographical too. Won't be bad if you get a few responses for this piece alone...lol! Blessings my friend!
