This poem was first published in my Facebook account dated February 20, 2013. Forgot to post this here as well.
I don’t know what’s with me yesterday, but I woke up thinking of my future husband, maybe it’s because I’m reading compiled stories of different missionaries and how they survived in foreign countries with their families, so I started praying for my future family, yet I ended up praying for the things that I want from a husband, so I asked God to change my heart and let His will be done over my desires then I write a poem for my husband-to-be. I believe, years from now, he’ll be reading this with a big smile on his face.
Beyond looks and condition
Today, I am longing for you deeply
Thinking of who you are personally,
You may not be that handsome
But I hope with you there is no boredom,
I pray that we’ll share a lot of things
That will make our togetherness interesting,
I hope your stare can make me smile
And take my heartbeat for awhile,
I hope that you have a not-so-dark complexion
But still look like a chocolate temptation,
And that your body is built like a hunk
Whom I can rest like a smooth rock,
I hope you’ll be like a magnet to me
Attracting my attention and thoughts daily,
I hope that just by seeing you will make my day
Making me feel swept away,
Not being my ideal won’t make me fret
And I’ll submit to you without regret,
Whether you’re not that attractive
Or a little bit insensitive,
I may not like your looks
Or not being a lover of books,
Whatever you’re like, I really won’t care
Be it tall, dark, or whatever,
We may not look good together
But I promise not to choose another,
For I know that we are God’s perfect creation
Made to love beyond looks and condition.
