A Man

I am not asking for much
Just someone I can be proud of
And who is proud of me

Someone who insists on what is right
And accepts me when I am wrong

A man who can say no with love in his eyes
And is brave enough to stand
In spite of all comers

No knight in shining armor
No prince with a waking kiss
Just a man
No more no less

A man who makes me a better woman
a better mother
a better person
Simply by being himself

One who can feel beyond my body
Enough to see what is truly beautiful
Inside and out

I am not asking for much
Just all that I myself would give
To love a man like this
