Perhaps One Day...

by Ariette Singer
(Canberra, Australia)

I still dream to meet one day
A man whose wisdom and maturity
Will take my breath away!
Seems Fate is deaf to my wise pleas,
Or does she want me on my knees?
If Fate refuses to co-operate,
Perhaps I should turn to Love
To make my dream accelerate?
And while waiting, in the meantime,
Till my dream comes true, I'll plead:
"Preserve my beauty!" with Father Time!
