One Wise Man (#poem)

I’ve had plenty of men in and out of my life
But it’s not what you think
I’m not looking for a man looking for a wife
Who will take me beyond the brink
I’ve been looking for that one wise man
I’ve been looking my whole life

I searched and I searched from land to sea
I searched and I searched on back roads and highways
And then one day I saw a man with the biggest smile I’d ever seen
I offered him warmth and he looked at me
As if he’d been waiting all along
For a woman without him who would still be strong

But once I beheld that loving gaze
I knew I’d found him as I studied his face
To have and to hold when I felt all alone
Like angels from Heaven singing their song
The sun and its power with all of its shine
Told me he loved me and I would be just fine
