SOMEONE
(Author-Darrell Bassham)
Have you ever hoped to know someone
Who seemed to most always make the right
Calls in life’s journey
Someone who you would not only
trust by your side in challenging times, but
Insist on her presence in good times
Someone who sets a positive example
in handling life’s situations
Someone who quietly does good for others
Someone who loves good things unconditionally
But confronts bad head on
Someone willing to sacrifice their interest
to please yours
Someone willing to help you fulfill your dreams
Yet able to offer sensible considerations
Someone who with a gentle hug
or word of encouragement
can make doubt become invisible
Someone who can be compassionate
When none is deserved
Someone who is a lighthouse in a storm
Someone who can show they love you
Even when you don’t feel lovable
Someone you can always count on
when the “chips are up or down”
Someone who commits their life to you
through thick and thin
Someone who forgives and forgets
Someone whose warm touch fills
your heart
Someone whose caring actions prove their
worth
Someone whom all the world’s treasures and pleasures
can never replace
I know that someone
It’s my wife
I love you Karen
