How can this man exist?
How can his story be true?

His life is stranger than fiction
its a story being renewed.

His birthday is coming up
He wants only one thing

A nice quiet evening with the woman he cares about
a nice dinner and maybe some music
to hold her in his arms again, feel her touch again,
her breath, her heartbeat, her voice and skin.

He is a one woman man, and wants a one man woman

She stepped back into his life again
he listens to her, and again
she is right.

He looked for work and found it
he tries hard to please her and do what is right
when she is in his life, he shines bright!

She is good for him
in health, career and life

She is a blessing to him

This is his love, his passion, his heart.

but where is she, what is she doing?
No one knows, but her.

That is what he wants, that and nothing else.

So you say, how is this man a paradox?
He is a Godly man, a man of faith and strong convictions
he has returned to church and it gave him new renewed hope and faith.

He sang a song, a simple song and it mended his heart.

So, how is this a paradox?
The paradox is in the appearance

He has friends, the seeming, teething heathens
That drink, dance, smoke, and sing
photos and the Paparazzi

It is once a week or two
and he doesn't play around with them
to his heart he is true, they are his friends,
they care about him
but he goes home alone, when the party is through

he will give up everyone, but the Church

He needs one woman to be faithful
to return to him
for his Birthday Wish to Come True
