These Wishes I have.

I hope to one day be a husband. To love and care for that special woman I hope to one day meet. I wish to be able to work hard so that I can provide a house for her and a family. I wish to be a protector, someone strong enough to stand between my family and the world and shout "If you want to hurt them, you'll have to kill me!"

I hope to one day be a father. To raise a family with that special woman. I want to see our children grow. I want to be able to sit with children in my arms, so that I can read The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe to them, as my father once did for me. I wish to take them camping; to be out in the woods late at night, watching shooting stars and counting fireflies in the distance. I wish to light fireworks with my sons. I wish to teach them how to be men. I wish to drink tea with my daughters, I want to be a man that they will be proud to call father.

I wish to share my love for music with them. I want to watch as they grow and prosper in the world. I want to see their own families grow around me. I wish to one day see young children who call me grandpa. Children who perhaps carry on traditions that I learned from my parents and grandparents.

This love is hardly sexual, but it is a feeling of love I hope to one day feel and not just fantasize about.
