I hope I do not disappoint
for I am merely me
Just a common average man
nothing much to see

No one all that special
a normal kind of guy
I smile when I am happy
and when I’m sad I cry

Perhaps a little overweight
I do not dress in style
Wrinkles where they shouldn’t be
they’ve been there for a while

No Prince Charming on a steed
a flowing lush estate
Nor a white knight armor clad
a sentry at the gate

Fighting fiery dragons
with a sword held in my hand
I wouldn’t even hurt a fly
I hope you understand

Not much like a movie star
good looks and perfect hair
If I walked into a room
no one would stop and stare

I do not have a sculpted chin
or muscles big and strong
Definitely not a leading man
for that would just be wrong

I’m not young like I used to be,
way too close to old
But if you can see past my faults
you’ll find my heart is gold

I want to bring you sunshine
every cold and cloudy day
Write for you a poem
that will take your breath away

Look into your eyes so deep
with wishes from afar
Maybe sit beneath the moon
and see a shooting star

Tell you that you’re beautiful
while we are oh so near
Show you my affection
so you know it is clear

That every dream I’ve ever dreamed
is what you’ve come to be
I hope you see me as the same
though I am merely me
