Singled Out is a poem by poet Jim Templeton.  This is a poem suitable for a man to give to his single mom girlfriend.


 

Singled Out

 

“Doesn’t she do well?”

“After all she’s been through”

“She does her best”

“And it’s good enough”

 

I’m not going to tell you

You’re good enough.

How sad it is

That you had it tough.

 

You’re probably tired

Of hearing that

The pursing smile.

The sympathy pat.

 

I’m not going to whisper

conspirationally

That it’s all OK

Then leave you be.

 Single Mom

I’d rather be honest

And let you know

How I really feel

So here goes.

 

When I see you

I see.

So much.

Your depth of heart

and delicate touch

 

I don’t just see

a single mom

I see much more

You’re fine, you’re strong.

 

You’re more than that

Adaptable and fine

The selfless way

You give your time

 

 

Who you are

And what you do

Like all of us

Is complex too

 

It’s simple though

At least for today

I think that’s what

I’m trying to say

 

You’re so much more

than a single mom.

You’re the woman that

made my world undone

 

You’re a tender whisper

In a noisy room

You’re the one I miss

Will you come home soon?

 

A burst of rain

On a boiling day

The girl I love

Come out to play

 

You’re a strong cup of coffee

At the start of the day

You’re fresh linen sheets

When it’s time to hit the hay

 

You give so much.

With all you do.

I’d like the chance

To look after you.

 

I singled you out

from the very start.

I’m yours to keep,

you have my heart.

 

I would not give my

heart to anyone

Only my favorite

single mom.

~ Jim Templeton
