I Ask For Only One

by JEFF   Feb 11, 2008


You're the reason I can't wait,
For the sun to set every night.
Just to hear your voice,
Just to know that your alright.

Not being able to touch,
Or feel you everyday.
So I ask God to hold you,
As I kneel, As I pray.

"Hold her tight my Lord,
keep her wrapped tight in your arms".
"Please help her through each day,
keep her safe and out of harm".

"All I ask is to have the chance,
to hold her in my arms again".
"Please find it in your heart,
to forgive me for all my sins".

"In life there's a lot I ask for,
I toss them all in the fire".
"But of all the things I ask from you Lord,
her heart, her love, and her life I desire".

"She gives me love,
on days when I'm bleeding",
"She showed me the cure,
my heart is really needing".

"Changed my life,
gave it new meaning".
"So please just one wish,
For this lonely human being".

"Give me the strength,
the power I need in life".
"Bring her back to me,
bring me back, my loving wife".

Every night I thank god,
For bringing this beautiful angel to me.
Shes the best reason for living,
And made each day joyful and free.

The first thirty years of my life have been rough, relationships none existent. By chance I happen to go on a certain website, and found the women of my dreams. And no it wasn't a site for hooking up with someone.lol.

She is currently in Medical School, and when finished she is looking at possibly going into (Doctors Without Borders). I worry about this a lot and one day just decided to write my feelings down.

I love that she wants to help people, but I fear for her safety. And when that day comes I'm going to be a wreck.

    That is definitely a poem that make the reader go "Awwwwww!". I thought it was very sweet. I liked how you made the poem into a prayer, instead of just talking to the person you love. I thought that made it a little unique. Very good poem!

    Hi Jeff,

    You asked me to look at your poem, so I guess you want my feedback?
    Wel the last line of the second stanza I would have written like this: As I kneel and pray...and I would have left out all the quotation marks.
    I love the poem, it is very sweet and endearing.

    Take care,

    5/5 Ingrid

    The style of "praying" made the poem so charming. i'm not a religious person but i know this feeling of missing someone so much)
    you put every "pray" in two lines - and it makes the poem well-structured
    hard to find favourite lines coz every stanza is filled with a great emotion&love
    5/5
