Faith And Faithless

Others can live with fancy
They don't need commitment
Or to feel true love
But others aren't me
I know I need to be
In love, to totally feel love

I have it in you

Others can feel light affection
Dance with many partners
Spinning from one to another
Never settling for any one
But I need the security
Of knowing my love
Is mine and mine alone

I have found this with you

Others can flit at will
Smile with equanimity
Into any eyes that lie close
Smiling deceptively
At whoever they toy with
But I know that's not me
I need certainty in my love
Need to know without doubt
I am the only one
Whose smile beguiles them so

As my smile beguiles you

Others can flirt outrageously
Charming those who cluster all around
Not caring where or whose ears
Are charmed by their false flattery
But I need the knowledge
Of total truth,
Need faithfulness and honesty

And I trust my heart to you

Others are like butterflies
Faithless, and wandering
They flutter at every attractive face
But I need the attentions
Of a faithful bee
And to my one and only
I yield all my honey

I yield myself to you

Marsha

Tomorrow is another day I don't know what it holds
but I can face the future with courage brave and bold

My sister's middle name was Faith...guess maybe mine should have been Faithless...(  not really  just I feel that way today...not as in your decription for I don't even know how to flirt
I actually believe as you do.

And to my one and only
I yield all my honey
Ride on Lady, a perfect song sung and what every woman dreams of....

Hugs to you....on a marvelous write
