Best Love “My Salvation” By
Chrystal Layton, FL |
Desciption of Submission: “It
describes how I feel when I’m with my girlfriend and how she makes me feel.”
–Chrystal
Why Karen and Melody Liked It: It was a very beautiful poem about the love for your partner.
I’m lost in a world where I have to hide what I am
Just because I don’t follow the rules set by the man
I trust my own self to do what I feel
Because with my girl I know that it’s real
Our love is right no matter what they say
We never followed them, we went our own way
Our love saw us through when no one was there
I can see it in her eyes; I can tell that she cares
My mother won’t speak to me. My father doesn’t understand
My sisters ignore me, but she takes me as I am.
She doesn’t care if I am perfect or totally trim
She doesn’t mind that I’m short and not model slim
I’m chubby and round, like a white skinned Smurfette
She’s an Amazon Goddess, but hasn’t left my side yet
I don’t know why she stayed with me this long
All my life I thought I was wrong
Searching for my soul mate in the shape of a girl
But she tells me I’m normal the thing that’s wrong is the world
She makes me laugh and thinks I’m funny
She holds me close and calls me hunny
I love to hear her voice softly say,
“I love you and God loves you, that’s why She made you this way
To love me forever, just you and me
Together forever, that’s the way we will be
You’re not a super model, but you’re super to me
Your love in my life is precious to me”
She says all this and I start to agree
I’m fine just the way I am, I like being just me
But I’m not just me, she’s always there
Giving me love and showing she cares
When the world is cruel and I start to feel low
I always have one place I can go
In her arms with her love shining in
I will always find my sweet Salvation.
