“I will never let you slip away.

Give you love to make it through the day.

You’ll never spend your nights alone.

You’ll have my love to call your own.

When I find you are;

The one that I’ve been dreaming of.

I want treat you lightly;

I’ll treat you so nicely.

When I find you,

LOVE.”

 I can’t quite remember the composer of this song but it is talking about REAL LOVE.  Not puppy love, but grown folk love.  The kind of love that let you realize the need for unconditional love, especially during the times when we are unlovely.  The kind of love that is there for you through thick and through thin.   Enduring love that will sustain you through a rough day at work or a cold night while working the graveyard shift.  The kind of love that will not allow you to take each other for granted, but when it happens, it forgives and strives to do better.  The kind of love that is so strong, it brands the heart making it a willing captive.  Why have I mentioned all of these things?  I am so glad that you asked.  I list them for my son.

I have a 20 year who is the joy of my life and I am very particular what female he talks to.  He gets discouraged sometimes at the prospect of never finding a love to call his own.  So am I.  So many young ladies where we live are choosing other ladies to be with instead of men.  He asked me, “Mom, do you think that there will be any women left for the me? ”  That honestly got me thinking.  Where would he find his true love?   No, I am not trying to dictate to him who he should or should not become involved with but when the time comes, I  hope that she is worthy of him.  I hope that she will understand him and find in my son all the attributes listed above and then some.  I hope that she brings a love so amazing that he can quote the lines to this entire song while HIS heart leaps for joy.  He deserves no less than the best.

“I’ll never worry about how I’ll know;

I’m gonna feel you down in my soul;

And when we touch,

The magic will sing.

Ooooo, I want to be your everything.

When you’re down I’ll make you smile again.

Let you know you’ve always got a friend.

Someone who cares about your cares;

Who’ll give you a love beyond compare.

When, when I find you are;

the one that I’ve been dreaming of.

I won’t treat you lightly;

I’ll treat you so nicely.

WHEN I FIND YOU,

LOVE!

Do something special for the one that makes you feel this way.  Have a SPECIAL Funkadelic Friday!
