Hypocrite

There is a difference
Between the man that is me
And the man I want to be

I have never been married
I have no children of my own
I am truly empty and alone

I hope for a love I could call my own
I longingly desire a wife
A woman to join with me for life

I play with children not my own
I hold them compassionately
I love them benevolently

I yearn to be a father
I aspire to raise a child of my blood
To nurture a flower from a bud

I am sad and melancholy
I am gifted with many talents
I am blessed with brilliance

I expect nothing but perfection
I doubt my gifts and abilities
I recoil at my own frailties

I worship at the alter of the female body
I am enticed by her allure
I am enslaved by the impure

I desire purity in mind and body
I long for holy intimacy
I aspire for chastity

I love with my eyes
I'm am lured by affection
I am deceived by attraction

I wish to desire inner beauty
I want to enjoy the intimacy of knowing
I hope for love ever growing

I name Jesus as my savior
I serve; I give and I try to obey
Yet I constantly go astray.

I want to be enamored with my God
I want my motive to be love
I want to live in the power from above

Author notes

This poem is NOT about finding a spouse nor the desire to find one. It is honest accessment and expression. It is about hyprocracy - the difference between the man I am and the man I want to be.

    excellent~

    Oh sweetie
    Reading this made me sad.....especially when you said you were alone wanted a wife and children of your own......You know I told you once you would find someone and I truly believe that with all my heart and when she does she will indeed have found a Prince among men.......
    You love with all your heart and you give freely without qualms
    I do admire that in you....You are a teriffic person inside and out if anyone should know that it's me.....
    One day your lady will come and then you can love her and shower her with love kisses and romance and then hold your children on your lap.....take them to games....to movies and still love God all rolled into one
    This is penned beautiful..but I also found it sad and somewhat yearing & nostalgic
    Hope all is well with you my friend
    Loved this
    Love n hugs
    Susan~~~

    A very honest,sincere and heart-felt expression of the thirst inside that longs to unite with True Love. If thats where the thirst lies then it is love that will manifest in the life in all its forms until we realise that love is always there for us if thats where our thirst lies. Peace and Joy Tara
