Will I Do?

I don’t have deep brown eyes,

I don’t have pouting lips,

I don’t have curves abundant,

But will I do?

 

I don’t have social eloquence,

I don’t have words of charm,

I don’t have seductive poetry,

But will I do?

 

I don’t live in sunshine,

I don’t need the warmth,

I do have love to give you,

So will I do?

Thanks Wolfie,
You are the first person ever to read and comment on my words. (Except for my primary school teacher!)
As a poetry virgin, I wasn't expecting the lift I felt when I read your comment.
It inspires me to write more. Thanks.
