What I Need Of Love Poem by DonnaDeLong Matthews

Many times I have been asked
what I need of love
You mean the kind that is Angel blessed
and sent from above?

Well this is not one
I need to ponder
for deep in my heart
there is no wonder

To be met at the door
with a warm sweet kiss
You know the kind
that brings heavenly bliss

That warm loving arm
in the cold of nite
that draws me close
and holds me tight

That strong shoulder
for me to lean upon
but wise enough to know
when I need to be alone

That joyful laughter
in my memory to burn
the one that sees me thru
when life's ocean begins to churn

The tender loving eyes
that will hold me in trance
well into the years
when it becomes difficult to dance

I want a love
to have and to hold
I want a love
that has yet to be told

Oh just love me
like nobody's loved me....
