Qualities of husbandry....
They stir my thoughtful muse
A wish of sorts
In short retorts
A secret sort-of "he"
Must be attractive to behold
not necessarily muscles,
a heart of gold
great hands to hold
And one who always hustles.
The man for me would always look
for ways to make things better
Would have a job
Not be a slob
Not be afraid to cook!
My husband would stay by my side
His eyes would never wander
He'd kiss my neck
And what the heck
Might kiss the thing I hide!
My darling would tell me I'm pretty
on days when I know I am not
With me he'd spend time
It would be so sublime!
I would never feel it was out of pity.
Qualities of husbandry
Could fill up many pages
For now it seems
He just lives in my dreams
"cause he surely ain't livin with me!

Got to say that the third stanza was a little... weird...
I like the rhyme scheme and I like the way you finish it up. Overall good and enjoyable. Thanks so much for entering.
