Kind of Love

By: Megan

I was never the materialistic kind of girl.

I did not want much in life, just a few small things.

I dreamed of a farmhouse with a wrap-around porch.

I dreamed of kids running around a yard chasing the chickens.

I dreamed of my husband coming home and showing our kids how much he loves me.

I dreamed of a life filled with love,

the kind of love other girls would kill to have.

I longed for safety and protection from the world,

the kind of love that would walk on the outside of the sidewalk.

I craved reassurance, and the words "everything is going to be okay."

These dreams seemed far out of my reach,

yet I am living them.

I have the man of my dreams,

and am living my dreams.

I get the opportunity to teach kids and get to see them grow up.

I play a sport that makes me happier than ever,

and I am constantly enjoying the outdoors.

I may not have a lot of friends

or the life that I thought that I would,

but I think I have something even better.

Better than I could have ever imagined.

I am able to have my happily ever after with the love of my life, after all.
