Where Are the Suitors

Where are my suitors, are there none?
I’m a proper lady,I’m educated and come
from a good family as well. We may not be
rich but we are rich in love and affection.

Oh there there you are. You are very 
handsome and tall with broad shoulders.
I’ve seen you before. You come a well
off family. And you now seek a wife.


But wait………………………………,,

Why have you raised a curious brow
in my direction? I see hesitation,
Am I not good enough for you, kind  Sir?
I know that you are wealthy, but can
riches hold you or wrap its arms around you?


I may not be the handsomeness woman
by far, but my beauty is not superficial.
It comes from the inside out. Notice my
inner beauty and it will suffice.

My station in life may be lower that yours
kind Sir, but we’re are equals all the same.

Never a truer word spoken Alexis my friend, some people think they are superior and that really infuriates me - you wrote this poem well and hopefully the ones that are guilty of this will recognize themselves. Hugs and blessings, my friend. Jennifer.

Hi Jennifer, Thank you so much. I agree, but I must say this poem came about after I watched Jayne Ayre and Pride and Prejudice. I appreciate your continued support:-) Alexis

Love always have its risks. It is the compatibility between two persons that count. May you have a happy life. ~~
