Love Poem: A Simple Man

A Simple Man

I only got one pair of shirt
And this old jeans I got on
And I don’t have that much money
I lost my job and my saving is gone

I don’t have a big mansion
High up on a hill With a Jacuzzi
I live in a one bedroom apartment
And my fridge is almost empty

I do not have a nice fancy car
To drive you all around town
But I got an old guitar
I can write you a sweet love song

But I do have love 
And my heart is warm
If you are looking for true love
Then I’m the one

I think you are so beautiful
A beauty that time can’t erase
And if you give me a chance
I will love you for the rest of my days

All I have is my love 
That I have confessed to you
And if you don’t want me around
Then like a river I’ll keep moving along

If you like to lie on the grass
Watching the stars in the night
And if the wind blows cold
i will pull you close and hug you tight

Love is all beautiful things 
It’s for the rich and poor
I’m just a simple man 
Bringing love at your door

Love isn't about money
But money can rent it for while
And not all happy faces
Carries a genuine smile

I think you are so beautiful
And I will give my life for you
I’m just a simple man
With a hole in his shoe

And if you got out with me
It won’t be to a seven star restaurant
There is a little mom and pops diner 
With some table and chairs in the front

And after will walk under the moonlight
With cherry vanilla ice cream
And I write you a sweet love song
That I would like to sing

And if you hold my hands
We can take a stroll for hours 
I save up enough money to buy 
Some of your favorite jasmines flowers

All I can do is tell you 
I think you are beautiful
And I’m just a simple man
Wish you was my girl
