This was written by Stacy Grapentin and dedicated to Don Shields My wife wrote the following poem when we were dating and now 3 years later we are married and have a beautiful 19 month old daughter. I just though it would be nice if I entered her poem because it means so much to me and who knows she might win(you never know). Also we have been together every single day since we meet april 1st , 1995 and its great J The Creation Once upon a time there was a girl lying in bed crying. A voice came to her and asked why she was so sad. She said every night she would dream about the most handsome perfect man ever but when she would wake up he was nowhere to be found. The voice told her that he wanted her to go to sleep and create her dream guy using the finest things on earth and in the morning when she woke , her dream guy would be lying by her side and they would share a lifetime together and never part. This girl fell asleep and started working immediatley. She started by making sketches and experimenting with different shapes and designs, but she could not decide what the physical features were to be like. So she took every dream guy she’d ever dream’t of and put him to life. She combined these dreams and created the most awesome body and attractive face. She started with the body. He was to have a good, stern , strong build like the most beautiful mountains. She then reached with her hand and took a pinch of the desert. Then, with the other hand she scooped up a few drops from the ocean. Placing them on her palete, she mixed the color of the desert sand and the brilliance of the ocean. With a careful hand and delicate strokes she painted his eyes and in them a firey spirit of the bull and a soul of white gold. She then reached into the ocean and pulled out 28 perfect pearls and set them in his mouth, from which the sounds of spring come from. The tongue which lies in his mouth was coated with the sweetest honey which would only be used on her. Then she captured the warmth of the sun and from this she created his smile which melted her heart right away. For the skin she combined the softness of silk and the kindness and gentleness of love. Gold, silver and gold rays of the sun were weaved together with the finest silk thread in the world to create his beautiful brown hair. She then sprinkled the finest colognes from around the world upon his body. Combining the love , the brilliance , the spirit and the compassion of :Galileo , Vincent VanGogh and Jesus, she poured this into his mind body and soul. She still had one last thing to add , his ears. She knew the intent but not the design. Then she gazed upon the earth and saw a deer standing at attention, it’s ears poised, listening intently to everything that was to be heard. With this in mind she created his ears. When she finished, she looked upon her creation and was satisfied, for she had created the greatest most perfect man ever. And when she woke from her slepp, lying beside her was her dream man, just like the voice promised, You see the sad but now vey happy girl is me and the dream man I always wished for is YOU!!!
Reason for writing:
The reason im sending this is my wife and i get along great and
she is always doing things for me , and she writes very well but
it was always sad poems about how she feels in her heart and
this was the last poem she wrote and says know she is happy
she has no reason to write.
I think she is good and maybe if she wins she may start writing again
