Are there better men than I?

• Are there better men than I, who’ve sought your love:
• So rich and powerful, or smooth of tongue,
• Or handsome, fun or otherwise above,
• Or more successful on life’s ladder’s rung?
• Have they taken you to dine at the right place,
• And given you a thrill, a moment’s smile,
• And made you like and want them face to face;
• Well, where are they now and where for such long while?
• But I am here and will, since you’re around,
• Be ever blessed to know you, thus to hold
• The memory of your beauty, when I found
• It in your every word and deed so bold.
• There are better men than I but where are they?
• None better loves you now and never may.
