Love For a Woman

 

Were you to ask me

Of life’s greatest joy

My reply most likely

When love finds the heart of a boy

 

The transformation that takes place

From that boy to man

When he learns about love

Attraction for a girl he understands

 

Suddenly nothing else matters

But quenching that thirst

To feel love for that girl

Knowing only one can be first

 

No one else will

Reach so deep in his heart

Almost like being reborn

Eternal love from its start

 

Love so strong

Growing stronger by the day

With her name upon his lips

“I love you” he’ll need to say

 

Years later that girl and boy

Now woman and man

She’s moved away with family

Life’s changes he understands

 

But nonetheless

His love still grows

For she is the love of his life

His heart’s purpose he knows

 

His life lesson

What greater joy for a man

Than to embrace the jewel of his heart

Love for a woman
