The Woman I Want To Be

I want to be beautiful in the eyes of my love, always poised and exquisite. To have pride in myself, love myself , be sincere, and have respect for myself. I want to always be ready to listen to others, laugh and sympathize with them, no matter how I feel or how bad my day might be. I never want my feelings to get hurt or hold grudges, or have jealousy. I want a husband, who worships me, for I deserve that. I can be the wife that he has been longing for. I want to be a wonderful mother, patient and cheerful. firm and just in decisions, and rich in self-control. I don't ever want to yell at my children, I want to acknowledge them, always be full of love for them, I want them to adore me. And when they are older, I want them to confide in me, for then my wisdom will be infallible and my guidance will be gold. I want to be the kind of woman that poets write songs about. I never want to doubt the Lords existence or stray from his ways. I want to be the ideal wife, a perfect mother a neighbor and friend everyone loves and respects. I keep hoping this woman will turn up someday, but I won't despair for I am catching glimpses of her already, I see just enough of this woman every now and then so I don't despair entirely. I'll just be patient, I'll be happy with the fragments of the woman that I already am... Written November 20th, 2001 © on Nov 20 2001 09:56 AM PST   18 • 0 • 10
