Deliberate Day 21

Another excerpt from my poetry book ... (not the one for kids -- this is another I'm working on) ....

In Jr. High my nickname was always 'Doris Day'

"Would you like another glass of cold milk?" ~ kids would say.

For I wasn't one for alcohol, I was not one to smoke ...

(I always blushed profusely if I heard a dirty joke!)

Now I would have to tell you, in all honesty today,

Not a whole lot's changed ... I still prefer old fashioned ways.

I want a man to "cherish" me - and yes, open my door.

Please pull my chair out, too (just don't let me fall on the floor!)

I long to feel protected and I long to feel secure

I want to know I'm needed and I want a love that's pure.

I want to be the woman and I want a real man.

He'll be proud to show he loves me.  For what's right he'll take a stand.

I want to be completely real ~ I want to be "best friends"

I want us to share hopes and dreams - forever - 'til life ends.

Chivalry's not dead - NO WAY - I won't believe it's so

When I find my knight in armor I believe my heart will know.

If I have to wait forever, then my friends that's what I'll do

I will not settle for less in life than a love I know is TRUE!

(Written about a year or so before I eventually met my husband and best friend, Chuck, in 2000!  He is definitely my knight in shining armor!)

Enjoying life with my husband today ...

DELIBERATELY!
