What I Want Poem by RoseAnn V. Shawiak

Waiting for a puff of wind - a gentle breeze.
Gasping for that one little breath of air.
What I want most in life right now is to get married and settle down.
What a joy my life would be then.
Always someone there to lean on - in those rare moments of wishing to be dependent.
In that little breath of time when I can say - Honey, I love you.
How I wish someone was here so I could say it.
I'd say it softly in his ear so only he could hear.
Then I'd shout it to the world that he's my love so dear.
I'd be so proud of him - so loyal - treat him like royalty.
But, I'd expect the same kind of spoiling in return.
I'd be by his side - yes! - his bride!
I'd defend him from day to day, and yes! I'd also understand him.
I only wish he were here so I could tell him so many things.
To tell him I love him and have him hold me closely, gently in his arms.
I can't live without him, he becomes afraid when I tell him.
He's a wonderful man, I love him with all my heart and soul.
Thank you, Lord, for everything - but especially for my life.
May I always remain single.
