He will be kind of heart but strong of will,
for I need gentleness to guide my spirit,
and determination to keep me on course;
lest trouble come, and I fear it.

He will accept me for who I am
and will know tender words to speak,
words that lead me to be more than I dare;
lest I tremble and become weak.

He will take pride in the woman who loves him,
not because of charm or vain beauty,
but simply because he values my heart;
lest I cling to him out of duty.

He will thrill me, making my senses soar,
locking me forever in his devotion,
and then bring me back to solid ground;
lest I drown in his beautiful ocean.
