I've been searching online...
and been going to meetings...
I've been listening to stories...
and been doing some reading...

Talking with self minded ladies...
some close by and some not...
I've even spoken to one that was from Haiti...

The one thing I've noticed...
the smiles on their faces...
They tell me of their struggles...
and how they've gone...
through their paces...

They all say it was rough...
some wanted to give up...
because their lives had just...
become too tough...

And then those smiles start to appear...
as they tell me how they kept going...
It was all worth the pain they say...
and the not knowing...

Just to meet that one person...
that will give you that edge...
Love you with all they have and...
and bring you back from that ledge...

The one you want to be with...
for the rest of your life...
The one that makes you feel free to be yourself...
The one you'll call...Wife!
