I Wish I Were In Love

I wish I were in love;
With a man, fair and just,
Sweet, loving and kind.
With a man of good intentions, of daring courage,
a righteous, undefiled heart.
With a man of noble deeds,
of immodest simplicity.
With a man, a servant of the Lord,
a begger to dreams and love.
With a man who dares to hope
for untold, immeasurable happiness.
With a man who lives, yet moans for the dead,
for the needy, for the lost.
With a man whose silence speaks volumes,
like a heavy cloud swaying in our midst.
With a man, hurt and broken,
draggin' a bundle of hopes and dreams.
With a man who'll forsake all for me,
and readily, me for all.
