Looking

by Katy (Aquarius) - Not entered

Now I lay me down to sleep
I close my eyes and still I weep
I pray the Lord my soul to take
I pray my life I don't forsake

I need someone to understand
I never had the gentle hand
Of a father to guide and show
Examples of life I needed to know

And now I'm grown, but not inside
From the world my soul I hide
I have two children of my own
And still I feel so all alone

I love them both - more every day
For them I live; for them I pray
And yet there's more I want from life
I yearn to be a loving wife

I have this need to find a man
Who wants me in his life-long plan
I have a need to feel secure
I want a man to make me sure

Am I so wrong for wanting this?
Is that a life I have to miss?
Is Mother all I'll ever be?
Is Wife something I'll never be?

Don't get me wrong - I've been blessed
I love my children and this is stressed
And yet I long for something more
I just haven't found what

I'm
looking
for

Reason for writing:

    Just getting tired of the  divorced single mom scene
