Finding and Keeping Love
by Christie Perkins
Spring’s coming. It’s time to find a man. Classifieds or are you in the comics? No. My lifelong love is in the obituaries. Next place for ideas is slave dungeons.
So. I created this sign in high school. And I am happy to admit I did not find my guy in the slave dungeon (although he may have found himself in the slave dungeon when he married me… sorry guy.)
I found my guy in the Human Interest section. Oh yes I did.
He was checking off the list for me: good with kids, treats me well, always talks me up, most forgiving person I’ve ever met, and showcases a perfect bald head (which I discovered later in marriage… he fashioned the parking lot hairstyle for quite some time).
These are just a few of his perks. Everyone has their unique set of perks and most likely no two are exactly the same. Everyone is awesome is some way. Everyone.
And we all have our quirks.
I wrote this poem in high school… I think it can apply well to any relationship.
