Poems from a Single Girl

Guarding My Heart

I'll guard my heart, won't give it away
To the charmer I won't yield or give way
Even the man of integrity
Will have no piece of me
If he is not my husband
I won't give my heart to lend
I can't be held, I can't talk longer
I must say bye and to the next thing wander

I'm Like a Sticky Burr

I'm like a sticky burr, made to attach
Onto the sweet guy I easily latch
But when we find that we are no match
I must pull away and detach

Why Do Men Think Marriage Is Creepy?

Why do men get cold feet on their wedding day?
Do they think they have more to lose than she?
They are not the only ones closing their options
A woman has much to lose too - maybe even more than he

Yesterday, I scrubbed every nook and cranny
Of my shower and my bathroom floor
I took my time and felt relaxed
And thought of my life and what's in store

If I get married and have children
Life won't be this clean and clutter-free
There won't be time for nooks and crannies
With my kids crying and tugging at me

But I do not care, it is not my dream
To live in perfection and serenity
No I live for relationship, I live for love
My life is to give, not to save for me
