The Girl I’ve Never Met

This poem is one of several poems written by a talented young man that I met at AU, Robbie Ballew. I was so amazed when I read his poetry, that I asked his permission to share them with you to encourage you (thanks Robbie!).

The Girl I’ve Never Met
By Robbie Ballew

Where is the girl who’ll stand beside me

Who won’t give out her love so lightly

Angels guard her at her feet

She’s the one I long to meet

She studies the Bible everyday

And pleases God in every way

Her beauty is like countless fields of flowers

Being watered by mid-spring showers

Yet she does not flirt or flaunt or tease

Because she’s saving it all, just for me

All of her problems, I will mend

And to our love there will be no end

Her every movement shines with glory from above

And her very presence brings peace like a dove

My commitment to her will be forever

And every day we will pray together

No matter if we hunger or thirst

In everything we will put God first

The least I can give her is all of my life

And I’ll have no greater joy than to call her my wife

I’ll give her my love without regret

She is the girl I’ve never met

There is a boy I long to find,
who worships God with all his mind;
whose fragrant poems and delicate prose
discuss romance and the size of my nose*.
His descriptions are apt (a man of brains)
with countless fields and refreshing rains.
His words always rhyme; his lines always scan:
I know it! I feel it! He must be my man…?
Yet he promises all to the girl of his dreams,
not a girl that he’s met or a girl (so it seems)
he knows how to woo or to court or to win.
