She is a lovely girl turned woman <br />Beautiful inside and curved outside <br />Like the hood ornament on a 1953 Buick <br />She loves to give chocolates and flowers <br />To perspective lovers and their mothers <br />She buys cards for orphans and the elderly <br />Visits the hospitals and nursing homes <br />Still she sits alone most every night for dinner <br />In a candlelit room with a sad song playing <br />On the stereo as she sips her wine <br />And wonders when she'll find her one true lover <br />She is kind to a fault with perfect smiles so bright <br />Yet she spends too much time crying in her sleep <br />She is a lovely girl turned woman <br />In search of her perfect man <br />Now that her Daddy is dead.....<br /><br />Ted Sheridan<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/love-requires-some-lower-expectations/
