from long long ago 3

i need a woman
as delicate as
a spider web,
feelings
thoughts
flowing emotions
so fragile
yet so strong,
intricately woven

i need a woman
soft and gentle
her ways
but firm
her faith and trust;
secure
confident
in God's abundant
grace

i need a woman
who
sings away her
blues,
hope
in God's provision,
despairing not
praying constantly

i need a woman
to be there when
i'm sad or down,
support and strength
unseen
only felt and
known

i need a woman
someone to
impress
to tease
to please,
to laugh with

i need a woman
to know
familiar with her ways
her eyes
her mouth
her face,
her shoulders
posture
grace;
how clear and
loud
they speak
messages
without words

i need a woman
to hug
to kiss
embrace,
in times both
good and
bad,
together
always
in spirit
if not in
flesh

i need a woman
to confide in
my plans
my dreams
my hopes,
my thoughts
and hers
no longer mine
but ours

i need a woman
who needs me
the same i do of her,
not just to have and
hold
but to belong to;
that's why darling,
i need you.
