From A Woman
All I want is
A man who will hold me
In his warm arms
When I'm suffering.
A man who will
Understand what I say
With quiet acceptance
No need to explain.
A man who can
Accept a song as a gift
And say its the best gift
Ever received by him.
I need a man who will
Revel in what I acheive
Support my ambitions
Share in my dreams.
I need a man who will
Let me be me
Respect my life
I need to be free.
Watch out man!
Think of my dreams as petty
An enemy
I will then be.
A hero or a martyr
Or objects of beauty
These are the things
That I do not need.
Or a man who can
Accept only life
Cold hard and real
He has limits.
What I ask is
For a man to bear his soul
Show who he is
I'll not think less.
I'll not think less....
