An Eager Wait

A smile that melts many a hearts,
A laughter that spreads like sunshine;
A heart filled with compassion,
A mind well balanced;
With speech that rings just
Yet hurts no one;
With strength that is protective
Yet never possessive;
A companion to share the virtues and vices of every day,
A friend to share the deepest thoughts;
A lover to make the nights longer and days brighter,
And a man to respect and look up to.
You call it a dream,
I call it an eager wait.
