In a world filled with hunger, poverty and hate,
You feel like completeness is found in a mate.
Your one wish is for family and love,
But you need to realize it’s not sent from above.
An effort is needed from both woman and man,
To love, honor and trust as well as you can.
A foundation of friendship comes in first,
If based on another, the relationship is cursed!
Add a spark and some romance, then love is in full swing,
It may sound easy, but it’s not a simple thing!
Patience is needed, Determination too,
But with these two things you will make it through.
Waiting is a pain and you’ll feel left behind
But I’ve said this before so keep it in mind;
Love is not everything; it may not be real,
Not always put to words its just something you feel.
Put faith in yourself and believe you can do it,
Don’t worry Don’t stress, and you know you’ll get through it.
Just sit back, relax, and let things fall into place,
Don’t feel like being single is such a disgrace,
If it’s what you want with all your heart soul and mind,
Then the perfect partner soon you will find.
Don’t be afraid of losing, because your heart will mend,
And with that last comment I’ll sign here-the end!

This poem was written about a friend of mine, after he conveyed his wishes for a relationship with the perfect girl. After hearing the same story so many times from different people, I decided to write this. Even though he says it does not relate to his situation at all, I kept the poem purely because it flows well and I like it.
