Forever Love

Everyone loves a good fairytale,
A prince rescues a princess,
Falls into a forever kind of love,
and live happily ever after.
I've dreamed of one day meeting my prince,
my one and only.
I was in a daze about it all.
I've set myself up so many times,
knowing I would fall.
I went through person after person,
"kissing frogs" so to speak,
though not finding even one I wanted to keep.

Praying year after year,
wondering in my time for love was near.
Making a list two miles long,
of my husband dear.
praying and dreaming of who he shall be.
Would it be love at first sight?
No, not at all.
It's really quite silly,
for I find humor in it all.
My forever love,
whom I thought would be my prince,
turned out to be a frog!
Awkward, creepy, and not so pleasing to the eye was he,
not temping at all,
turned out to be the only man for me.
He attracted me with his friendship
and made me fall with his jokes.
He teased me and offered what I found others could not.
Just as a second thought,
I looked over my list,
checking off almost all
-slowly realizing that he made me fall.

It's a strange feeling,
different from anything else.
Before not caring about others,
caring only for myself.
Only for whomever would give me my happily ever after...
Now, only wanting for him to have his.
I feel contentment when he laughs
and grief when he is upset.
Though it may not be with me,
I want him to have his happiness always.
My little frog that so suddenly appeared,
turning my world upside down,
and making everything so clear.
God blessed me more than I deserve,
for I asked for a prince and he gave me more.
He gave me a frog that turned into my forever love.
