PERFECT MAN
I searched my whole life,
for the perfect man,
No one seemed to measure up,
And I didn't understand,
Why part of me was empty,
Why I still felt cold.
Would it be this way forever?
WouId I feel the same when I'm old?
After searching my whole life,
The perfect man I couldn't see.
I couldn't take it anymore,
I said Lord help me please.
He said look deep inside you,
The answer was always there.
I couldn't tell you how to feel,
It was your cross to bare.
I did as a lord had asked,
I looked deep inside.
A calmness overwhelmed me,
My heart was filled with pride.
The answer was always there,
The truth I always had.
I didn't have to look at all,
The perfect man is my dad
