How I long the fates to foil,
  and do the things I want to do
    free of worry, tears and toil,
      free to happiness pursue.

I long to find a faithful friend
  who's fun and don't complain
    and knows the way to live and blend
      the nicer things in sweet refrain.

The melody of life and harmony of love,
  in a rhapsody of fun and a symphony of
    sun and wind and land and sea,
      in life of song and poetry.

Walking, caring, talking, sharing
  working, playing, aging, graying,

   How I long,  Oh, how I long.....

Stan,
All of these feelings are out there, when they show up though ensure that they are true.

Respond to my call and let the waves of my heart fill your life with the wonders of love

This is the first of your work that I have read. Apologies for not getting here sooner. May I say that I'm impressed so far?   Beautiful work. I love what you do with the words.  

Can I be your willful breeze,
Come to touch,
Your heart to ease?
