Seeking: Phenomenal Man I’m a phenomenal woman In search of a phenomenal man. Do you have what it takes? Catch my heart if you can. I want a man who can bathe the kids And then tuck them into bed. Someone who’ll take care of me When I need to rest my weary head. He has to be willing to do his share, Without me having to ask. I want a full time partner in life, Who’ll help with any task. Be strong enough to carry me Those times when I am weak. Two broad shoulders to cry on When it’s comfort that I seek. Give me shelter in your arms When the world’s just too much. Together, in the dark of night, I want fire in your touch. A man who commands respect From all those that he meets. Who treats others with dignity, In the office or in the streets. I want a man who honors his word And would never break a vow. If this is you, my heart is yours, I’ll give it to you now. It matters not how strait the gate; How charged with punishments the scroll; I am the master of my fate: I am the captain of my soul. --W.E. Henley |

I wish I could say that I've been hiding him from you, but alas, I'm afraid you'll have to take a number...cute tho, and beautifully expressed. |

In search of Mr. Perfect. If he's out there let me know! <*\\\>< When you can't make up your mind Which way is right for you, Stop and softly ask yourself, What Would Jesus Do? |

Hey, I'm perfect. Perfectly available. Tara: I will show you other worlds. I will take you to the moon and stars, To places yet revealed. Then, like the snow on a still Winter’s night, I will lightly, bring you back down, Softly, gently; caressed In my safe embrace. ------ Well, I can dream, can't I? ~Gene |

I think there are a few who could live up to your expectations. I have personally never met one that would do all this, but my experience is limited, so search on! He will be very lucky to find you. Excellent poem. Liz |

Wonderful hopes, Tara! But alas, I am afraid most men are as flawed as most women are! Denise |

Serenity, Septsong, WhtDove, Elizabeth, Ruth: Yes, he's out there somewhere, the fun is in the journey! Devina, if he has a brother, we'll double date! Denise, speak for yourself, I'm perfect (uh, did anybody buy that?). Gene, you paint a dream with your words. Lovely! Nathan, LR, PDV and Sy: thank you for reading! Rex, I think Tim Allen is adorable! It matters not how strait the gate; How charged with punishments the scroll; I am the master of my fate: I am the captain of my soul. --W.E. Henley |
