[hometext] => Dedicated to someone special. Thanks for the inspiration always hold true to yourself and who you are.
_______________________ [bodytext] => I look for honesty, The kind and forward type. Who tells you when their lonely, Or when they’ve had a fright. The kind that looks you in the eye, And tells you what they think, Even if it’s not what you like, Or makes your spirits sink. I look for strength, For one who holds their own. For someone who can stand up straight, Even when they are alone. Like this I know I’m wanted, Not needed as a crutch. For me this is important, To others not so much. I look for dedication, To a goal beyond themselves. Someone who is dedicated, Will not place me on a shelf. If my needs become their own, Forever I will be, A goal they seek to satisfy, Throughout eternity. I look for compassion, A tender heart within, When it comes to understanding, This is where I would begin. A helping hand, A kind word, A gentle stroke, Whispers heard. I look for beauty, It’s found within a smile. For this kind of beauty, I would trek a hundred miles. It would take me by the heart, And hold me for all time I’d be captive to its power, So tender and sublime. I look for all these things, What I’ve said is true But what I did not say, Is that I’ve found them all in you.
