My Future Wife

By Wallace Kyle Woodard

I have had a romantic soul since I could first walk and talk. As a toddler, I would trail after any unsuspecting girls or ladies who I thought were pretty asking them to marry me, and then asking them to wait for me once they told me they were too old for me; I must have popped the question a thousand times before I was in kindergarten. As I grew into a youngster, no matter how many times Id been rejected and how many times I asked her to wait, there was one special lady who captured my heart. (She was the cookie lady at my local grocery store.)

Finding love in the real world is hard compared to childhood fancy.

Ive known from a very young age that I am meant to be married that God has someone special picked out just for me. I havent found her yet, but that hasnt stopped me from trying. Inspired by my convictions, I have penned this collection of love-themed poetryan offering to my future wife.
