' I Found My Wife'' - Poem by Marvin Brato Sr

My mother once said:
'Son, find the right girl to marry'
was her best advised that day.
She meant that I find a girl
who is loyal, bright and pretty
an ideal gal she wanted for me.

But, wherever I look I can't find
the ideal maiden right for me.
Many gals look refine and beautiful,
just like the woman my father married.
So I just pray that someone will come
a woman just like what my mum wants.

Today in 30 years I have been married
our love still lingers with zest that blaze.
Truly I can say that she isn't the woman
whom mother wants for me to marry
But I can proudly answer her today:
'Mother, Miliza is the woman for me!

She maybe not an ideal woman
As she is not perfect in all ways
But my heart always beats for her
That my mind can't stay sane without
True love need not be an ideal someone
Yet it is the happiness that counts in love!
