Are You The One? Poem by Colleen Wright

Are You The One?

Rating: 5.0


You sent a message to the world
hoping to find a very special girl.
I read your words and heard your voice
then responded instantly, to hear you rejoice.

Words of which I really do understand,
as natural and necessary as 'water to land'.
It certainly seems that our wants are the same
now we know of each other, more than a name.

I love the type of person you are, an honest gentleman
knowing how to treat a lady, and when to take her hand.
For the man to pursue the woman is the way God planned it,
to treat as a lady, to be cherished and cared for, I understand.

That lady did rescue many down-trodden, yes, Germaine Greer,
she did much good, but some others, went a little too far, oh dear!
Many bitter women have turned to the ways of man,
now strong men are lost, becoming wimps of our land.

I've searched for years, months, weeks and hours
sorting through the 'wild weeds to find the flowers'.
To discover the elusive, exotic and rare specimen,
is to weave through the boys to find a genuine man.

I am most fortunate being a woman of the greatest wealth,
no, not materials, but my wealth comes from good health,
a wonderful family, friends, and the knowledge of God,
and to some that may seem quiet strange - or even odd.

Peace of mind is something of which is totally priceless -
to try to buy would be totally useless and surely hopeless,
therefore I am happy to have that of which I have gained
through the years of disappointments and a heart 'pained'.

To talk with you is so refreshing and leaves much hope
that it is possible to find one good man – so I do cope
with the waiting, hoping, the anxiety and much strain
and hopefully, a special relationship we will soon gain.

I wonder - how did I miss out on this lovely treasure for so long. anyways, I am here now and I cherish the moment reading this beautiful ode. You write so smooth and natural - it is a pleasure reading...... and I do agree with the comments by Kee and Nalini too. I also wonder sometimes that how important it would be for a poet to see his votes count... I was surprised no-one voted here... it's a 10 from me, indeed deservingly!
