Better Than a Tax Return

This was a genuine prayer. It took nine years for me to be ready to receive it. Then it was answered.

Itemized Desire
by Steve E. Masters  -  All rights reserved

The woman I desire
Don't have to be super fine
Not just another berry in the bushel
She has to be one of a kind

One who is genuinely feminine
A lady in every drop
And when she smiles at me
It causes my knees to knock

Prefer her to be smart as a whip
And not swollen with pride
Isn't always insistent on the lead
But is happy by my side

She knows how to handle herself
But humble enough to step back
Is dignified and respected
And wise enough to avoid society's traps

A partner I can trust
That doesn't live in the past
Learns how to respect me
And boasts of me as her man

She has to be my friend
Seeing the benefits of honest communication
Refuses to be petty
And desires to have an adult relation

The girl has a good sense of humor
And can groove to my jungle-boogie
Like only a good intimate knows
I desire nothing less than pure honey

She knows how to manage things
Does it with dedication and skill
Will pray with me and encourage me
To stay in God's will

Not looking for another mother
Already had one of those
Nor do I want the one
With neon flashing "rent-to-own"

It would be nice if she realizes
That the haul may be long
But with real love and trust
We'll grow together and remain strong

How will you keep this woman around for the rest of your life and how do you know there won't be an Itemized List number 2?

When God answers prayer, and you have the faith to know that it was indeed God, I won't even entertain the thought of this being a temporary, or for the moment relationship. If God is in it, and we both agree to be in it, then its done.
