a woman much admired
yet often misunderstood
willing to stand behind her man
whether he be bad or good...
this woman takes alot and
yet asks for very little
her mind and body yet hold strong
but her heart still brittle...
alot of this holds true
life's turns circle us no lie
this woman does what she do
living off her head just to get by...
she's smart and funny, willing to please
she gives what she can and then more
she keeps herself guarded
but to her feelings, she opens the door...
she takes pain in ways unknown
she deals with things in ways you never see
she also holds in hurt she's feeling
you would never know but htat's how she be...
she stands beside her man
she will fight long as you fight
this woman you know is good
stands with you whether you wrong or right...
this womans nerves are strong
mind and body always intact
you would never know her heart hurts
unless she gives you the facts...
i write for this woman
most of her word unsaid
the bumps and bruises talk for her
they are her escape from the red...
i hope women read this
take this to heart tried and true
the saddest feeling in the world
is a scorned look a woman gives you.....
