What I Want

I want to feel love and respect
With someone special the need to connect..
I want to feel that I alone matter
That I come first and never be the latter.

I want to be someones love acclaimed
Not someone who is to be ashamed
I want a love that cannot be defied
One that will not hide.

I want to be loved for me
Not for what someone wants me to be.
I want to be accepted for who I am
For I am no meek mild lamb.

I am so much more than expected
And yes I do sometimes need to be protected
But will always throw down and fight
For all that I believe is right.

I am simple and complex
For some days I surely do vex
But I will never ever hex
Unless said someone is an ex.

From my love I want affection
No one wants to feel rejection
I want to feel like I am needed
Not like I am someone to be be heeded.

Can anyone really love me for me?
Will my heart anyone truly see?
When it comes to me is there any clue?
Who is my true love? Is it you?

If this is written to your husband, and I think it is, go together and give 95% each. It takes that much giving to succeed in marriage. Say prayers together at night. Never go to bed angry. TALK< TALK< TALK<...Not yelling. Take turns sharing feelings. Use an egg timer to help curtail interruptions. If you don't have a church, get one. The church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints is a very family oriented church. Call on a Sunday afternoon or a Wednesday night to set up an appointment.
