Love Poem: Deliver Me a Man, Not a Boy

Deliver Me a Man, Not a Boy

Deliver me a Man
not a boy
lm not searching for little patters
down the hall
lm looking for feet up the stairs
Accompanied by a hoarse voice
full of authority and confidence

Deliver me a Man
not a boy
lm not searching for a whiner and complainer
who leans on me for his standing
lm looking for broad shoulder
that know how to lift their own burdens

And yet still still manage to lift me
protect me and provide for me
Deliver me a Man
Not a boy.
