For the last 20 years (16 to 36) I*ve enjoyed the poignancy of these awesome Lyrics by Charles Aznavor but I never really understood understood the depth of their meaning until I got married (3 MONTHS AGO) and actually lived with a Lady for the first time !
When GOD created ADAM he created someone majestic & powerful - single minded - ambitious & strong. With a determination to win & succeed whatever the cost.
When (later) GOD created EVE His blueprint was much more subtle - A much more flexible Being who could complement (and subdue ?) ADAMS single mindedness and overpowering ambition. EVES physical form was cooler and more appealing & sensuous to the touch. Her Brain was better wired - she could multitask ! GOD gave HER the ability to conceive and bear Children (Yin & Yang) inside her for 9 months - til they were ready to face the World with the Love of EVE & the Loving Support of ADAM. Every Daughter of Eve has infinite Skill in Art & Music & Creativity all that was needed to create HOME ot of a few Branches & Mud ! While every Son of Adam still does what he does best - Goes out & Hunts & Gathers and lays his spoils at His Wifes Feet and sleeps in His Chair until supper is Ready and She graciously lets Him CARVE and chose the WINE. It was ever thus and ever will be but Im just beginning to learn ~ AMEN !
I*ve only ever had one WIFE
So far she is the BEST !
Brought Love & Joy into my LIFE
And made my House a NEST !
We are both in our Thirties - hence
We*re old enough to know
Our minds - we*re no more on the fence
Joy in our Love we show !
She*s a gracious Lady - at Work
& Play - all Her adore
The - Hard tasks she will never shirk
Tough problems NOT ignore !
She*s my best Friend - Wife & Lover
Her skills are manifold
She*ll sing & dance - like no other
She*s worth her weight in GOLD !
Soon we*ll have Children - Girl & Boy
In loving Home to care
With Smokey Cat in Harmony
Our TRUE LOVE we will share !
