It is great
To have a soul mate

But it is a must
To have one you can trust

One who can listen to your pleas
And put you at ease

One who can for your own good
Tell you the truth

Without being mean
Or causing a scene

One with who you can share
Or compare

One with who you laugh and cry
And know why

One who shares your sorrow
And encourages you to face tomorrow

One who gives you a mental rub
And who lifts you up

One who applauds an shears
And helps you over your fears

There is no norm
They come in any form

They are pleasant and sweet
And do not compete

They are always there for you
But you must reciprocate too

For them not to go away
You must meet half way

A soul mate by any measure
Is a valuable treasure
