I'm not looking for a white knight,
To sweep me off my feet.
Just one who would be faithful,
And not one who would cheat.

I'm not looking for a perfect bod,
Maybe, two arms to hold me tight.
I'm not asking for perfection,
Just hold me through the night.

I'm not looking for a genius,
To bore me all day long,
And I really don't want anyone,
Who NEVER thinks their wrong.

What I'm looking for is simple,
It's really not that much,
Just someone to share their love,
And a simple, loving touch.

He should listen quietly,
When I'm a friend in need.
And when I need to grow,
He should be the seed.

When my heart is hurting,
He should hold my hand.
And when I feel romantic,
A long walk in the sand.

And what, you say, will be
His reward for such a quest?
Then I would do the same for him,
And with true love we'd be blessed.

Sounds like a perfectly reasonable wish to me!     I'm not so sure white knights are all they're cracked up to be anyway - all that armor, and what will you do with that horse??

Oh goodness...I never replied this morning!  I read your words here in the AM and I was so moved I just had to show my fiance!  You see, it was like you put down on paper what I never could.  Thank you for this work!

Hey girl beautiful poem
white knights come in all shapes and sizes
even disguises.
I have found mine after much denial
right under my nose.
So as for me and my beliefs they are out there they just don't all have armor and horses.
beautiful poem
I hope your knight finds you soon

You sound like you know what you want, hope you find your man

Life has got to chnage,
Nothing stays the same,
Soon it will be time,
For me to move on.

The things you said in your poem describe a love that is real.  And though not exempt from problems, a love that is stronger than all of that.  The Knight in shining armour right off of the cover of "GQ" married to a supermodel actress is a mythical Hollywood rendition of what love is.  I have a wife that I know God gave to me and our love is real.  Though sometimes it's hard to wait for his timing.

thanks for the poem.
Liked it alot,

Stephen.

You'll have no problem finding him, he'll find you. He'll be all that you want him to be, til one day you'll find that it's you that is the White Knight ... and he, your faithful Squire
