Wrong Places

When you meet a guy at a bar
A drunk is what your going to get
If you meet a man at the track
Trust me that's not his last bet
When you meet a man from rehab
His addiction is not you
You want a man that's
Clean loving and true
In order to find this man 
You have to be smart
Try church at least you know
He's got god in his heart
You meet a guy from jail and
He just can't let go his past
Meeting these guys on line
The relationship just ends to fast
If you don't want all
Your time and energy wasted
Stop looking for love
In all the wrong places

Very wise and true, Faleshia! But sometimes we'll have a problem and take the wrong place for the right one....Happy Easter!...Gert

Hi Faleshia, These words of yours are true to the core and that's why we must be selective in our choices and not go for anything less especially when it comes to the desires of our heart that we want the most but in reality hardly anyone is perfect and we can take a good look ourselves as an example and we too are far from perfect. This poem that you have written has embraced my thoughts and if only for a moment I enjoyed seeing through your eyes instead of my own,Have a wonderful day, Dean

Excellent write Faleshia..but how about you can meet a guy in church and still he can betray you,lead you astray as any of the others would? Maybe we all need to stop looking for love, period; go about our business and hopefully let it find us? idk! Nevertheless, this is well-written, as usual.You are a gifted poet!Peace, love, Audrey

Yes, yes, your words ring true to me. I still actually think the right man will find me. one day, although, I have a boyfriend, I know he is not THE ONE, powerful words you give us to ponder.. now for your assignment in my contest, it is family, dear heart, sorry for the confusion... love constance
