What I Want In a Man

I want a man that
loves me for who I am
I want him to treat me right
and give me right

A man that will
comfort me when I'm hurt
bring me up when I'm down
turn my frowns into smiles
give me support when no
one else will

One that will have
encouraging words to say
when I've had a bad day
and I feel like I can't go on

At the end of the day
when It's all said and done
all I want to hear
him say is I love you

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
