Love Poem: My Perfect Man

My Perfect Man

The only reason I get up in the morning
Is to say “hello” to you
There’s no one else, no other purpose
I swear, I promise it’s true

I’ve always looked for my perfect man
To love me and take care of me
To hold me close and hug me tight
To be whatever I need him to be

I need a Provider, to give me things—
The necessities of life
I need a Comforter to soothe my pain
When my troubles seem so rife

I need a Teacher to instruct me
To teach me the right way
A Leader who will guide me
Even when I start to stray

The perfect man will love me
If for him, I did the same
He’d be the type to forgive completely
When I’ve put myself to shame

When I’ve cried my eyes out
From the guilt inside my heart
He’d wait for me to come back to him
To give me a fresh start

And when I make it back
Into his arms, I’ll run
He’ll tell me that he forgives me
And will forget the things I’ve done

…

So I thank you God, for everything
For all that you are to me
For loving me and forgiving me
For being the Father I need you to be
