i’ve always dreamed of a man * who radiates simplicity and humility * someone I can call down to earth * he is, for me, a perfect man * someone who can look up to God * smile and say thanks during every sunrise * and do the same act of worship and thanksgiving * during every stormy morning * someone who can be a friend to my friends * a friend to my family * someone who can make me smile my sweetest smile * and laugh my loudest laugh * someone who gives me flowers and love letters * chocolates and surprises * he is, for me, a perfect man * someone who is not afraid * to pick up a shovel * dig the earth * and stain his hands * someone who respects the old * and loves the young * someone who loves me at my best * and loves me the same at my worst * someone who will support me in both my strength and my weakness * someone who sees me as I am * someone who lets me be me * he is, for me, a perfect man * someone who is true to his feelings * and is never pretending * to me, a blessing * a perfect man * someone who brings God glory * a proclaimer of truth * a lover of goodness * an advocate of justice * someone with an honest heart * a compassionate hand * he is a perfect man * a knight in shining armor * a hero * my perfect man * looks is good * intelligence, surely better * but a good character is still the best * my perfect man’s assets * where is that man of my dreams * who is he whom I will crown prince of my heart * a perfect man * my perfect man

NOTE: This is one of the earliest pieces that I have written... high school or college, I can't remember now. I did some editing of the original last year and came across it last night. This is the revised version, edited on May 12, 2006.
