Description
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...

It was only after re-visiting your gallery that I realised that my first comment had been obliterated, which meant the second one made no sense. My apologies! I'll start again. Welcome to RR ... I enjoyed your poem - you've made a good job of what some people would think an easy option. "List" poetry can all too eassily degenerate into the poet talking to her/himself - you've avoided that & I was interested throughout. One tip: the cover image is lovely and complements your words admirably - but if you want the words to start below the image [rather than some besdide the image] first hit the enter key 20 times before typing/pasting. You can do this after posting using the edit button. Put your cursor before the first word - enter key 20 times, then upload. I think you'll find it looks better. Again, welcome. Meic

I'd like to thank you all for your gracious comments. It means alot. As for my artwork, I work with free tubes or pictures that I get permission from the artists. I have many greeting card sites so I make greeting card type of work. I work with paint shop pro 8 and adobe and animation shop. I can draw as well but prefer not to, I very much like what I do now. Maybe in the future I'll pic that pen and paint brush back up. Again, thank you for your gracious comments. And for the compliment of my poetry. Hugs, Sherri Emily Avery/SEA

Excellent writing and I agree with Meic. "List" poems can lose the reader but yours didn't at all. I enjoyed reading it. It flowed nicely and with a lot of warmth. And the image goes beautifuly with your poem.

You sound like you desire to be a Proverbs 31 woman...
