~ Am I Wrong? ~

Am I wrong to want the kind of Man

Who comes home from work,

Around the same time every day?

Instead of him leaving you wondering,

Where is he, why hasn’t he called?

Am I wrong to want the kind of Man,

That at least makes you feel like he ‘wants to’

(Even though he doesn’t) Make love to you ‘his wife’ everyday?

Because it’s just something ‘nice’ to know you have!

Am I wrong to want the kind of Man,

Who wants to do things with Me?

Am I wrong to want the kind of man,

Who comes when he’s called?....

(Hey I HEARD THAT, NOT NICE, that’s not what I mean)

No He comes because He wants to be there,

Not because he thinks we’re being mean or some kind of

Bullies!

Am I wrong to want the kind of Man,

Who finds priority in doing things with his children?

Am I wrong to want the kind of Man,

Who finds Priority in his Wife and Family?

Am I wrong to want the kind of Man,

That No matter what time it is, or how tired he is

When he gets in at night,

That he finds his way to our room,

Stumbling in the darkness,

Just to make sure he sleeps

Next to Me Every Night?

Am I wrong to want the kind of Man,

Who calls when he’s going to be late?

Am I wrong to want the kind of Man,

Who wants to splurge, on an outing or something

Nice to do occasionally too?

Because it’s about (marriage, love, life, happiness) not about the

Debts and whether or not they’re all paid off, on time.

It’s about the satisfaction of time well Spent

Keeping Good Love: together!

Am I wrong to want the kind of Man,

Who hugs me every day?

Who hugs his family!

Am I wrong to want the kind of Man,

Who can talk calmly about things that have made him feel mad?

No need to get angry, and have a tantrum, raise your voice

And have to shout, till you run away?

Am I wrong to want the kind of Man,

Who has Plenty of NICE things that he is Always

Opening his Mouth to say?

AM I wrong to want the kind of Man,

Who Respects his children enough, and I mean at all costs,

Not to do things, like swearing in front of them,

Regardless of the anger?

Am I wrong to want the kind of Man,

Who respects his Wife enough not to swear at her

Or insult her, whenever he is angry about something

He didn’t like having heard her say?

I mean nobody is perfect anyway!

Am I wrong to want the kind of Man,

Who can cook a nice meal for the family

Every once in awhile?

(Even if his menu of meals is limited)

For it’s the effort, and the thought that counts.

God Bless, those little things, for they really DO COUNT!

Am I wrong to want the kind of Man,

Who isn’t an animal and actually remembers to brush his own teeth

Every night? Yuck! I mean who wants to have to shout out from there bed

Every night, “Honey, "did you remember to brush your teeth?”

Am I wrong to want the kind of Man,

Who doesn’t make life hell,

When he’s doing something he doesn’t like to do,

(things that most people dislike but still need to do)

Like sharing in the regular chores of cleaning up around the house?

Just because some Women make good wives and do these

Things doesn’t mean they like it at all either.

What good would it do, if they complained too much too?

It doesn’t change the reality of life and the things that have to be done.

Am I wrong to want the kind of Man,

Who can and will talk about how “We’re going to pay off our debts?

Am I wrong to want the kind of Man,

Who brings his wife home a rose or flowers to fill that

Empty vase every once in a while?

Am I wrong to want the kind of Man,

Who shows his appreciation frequently for what he knows he has?

Am I wrong to want the kind of Man,

Who kisses me every day?

(I mean to say as long as he doesn’t have Strep throat and

He’s remembered to brush his teeth!)

AM I wrong to want the kind of Man,

Who has some self-control about how many hours

He works in a day?

Am I wrong to want the kind of Man,

Who knows there is more to life then working so hard,

For only a limited amount of money?

(I mean it’s one thing to want to pay your bills,

But this is ridiculous Honey!)

Am I wrong to want the kind of Man,

Who can be satisfied with right where he’s at

If it means, being around his family more

Where he’d much rather be anyway?

Am I wrong to want the Kind of Man,

Who wants to walk the Dog, because he thinks it is fun to do.

None of this Pulling teeth stuff to get him to do it,

(“But honey, its cold outside, or it’s Sunday it’s the Day of Rest?”)

Am I wrong to want the kind of Man,

Who can remember when the last time was he took his daughter

To the Park?

Because he takes her so regularly the way a good father should!

Am I wrong to want the kind of Man,

Who is big enough to put aside his petty fears

Or minor frights, of things like water,

(Nobody said you have to swim deep)

So that his children can have wonderful fun

Memories with him, when they are at the beach

Or pool to Swim?

Am I wrong to want the kind of Man,

Who wants to go places together?

And I don’t mean the shopping mall, or to the movies,

How about a country picnic, a weekend getaway, fun

For the whole family, or a trip to Greece?

It doesn’t take all that much to romance the wife good

Every once in a while, so why is it so hard for so many of you to do?

Am I wrong with wanting to feel or hear or know, the words he’s thinking

Are “I LOVE YOU TOO!”

Am I so wrong?

How come even with this list already being so long

I still can go on?

For him to always just keep coming to you and saying

“I know, I know honey,”

Just doesn’t cut it,

Just won’t do.

So answer me one other thing then,

Why the heck should I or should any of us

Stay in situations that continue…

On this way?

Am I wrong to want that Kind of Man???

Am I wrong?
