A TRIBUTE TO WOMANHOOD

Louis Gibbs

It has been said ...

"EVENTS revolve around MEN,

LIFE revolves around WOMEN."

Who could honestly disagree?

 

The division of roles begins early;

While little boys, testosterone fueled,

Recklessly run about tilting at windmills,

Little girls, calmed by their estrogen,

Gently practice their roles with dolls.

 

She becomes the hand that rocks the cradle,

The gentle hand that tends the wounds,

The fountain of unconditional love

Upon which family is founded.

 

Men will continue to create events ...

But only those souls who have acquired

Sufficient courage and grace over lifetimes,

Earn the distinct honor to re enter this world

As a Woman.

    Thanks LOUIS ~ My sentiments exactly ~ I love and adore all the LADIES in my Life ~ my Community and the whole World ~ they are all so so feminine. When reincarnated I have requested to be Human Female next time ~ hope GOD thinks I have been good enough to deserve it. My MUM taught me just how precious they are and to always respect them and treat them with TLC. I am a very gentle and patient LOVER and most Ladies love that ~ foreplay ~ intercourse and afterglow and I always leave them satisfied ! I have said elsewhere that GOD took a a hard long look and appraisal of ADAM and said to the Trinity "We could do much better than that" and THEY did ! Thank GOD for EVE ~ AWESOME ~ Yours BRIAN

      What would the world be without them! A grim place, indeed. Thank you for this well appreciated comment, Brian.

    • Michael Edwards

      It's the ladies in my life who have made the greatest impression from the demure through to the Thatcheresque - I love them all - well perhaps not so much Thatcher but there are exceptions to every rule.

      • Louis Gibbs

        Point well taken, Michael! Thanks for your comment.

      • FredPeyer

        And SHE is the only one who can elevate you from mere man to be a father!

        • Louis Gibbs

          Well said, Fred! And that is the greatest gift any man could receive.

          Very good and very true write. Both men and women have their places but it is the ladies that nurture our lives.

          • Louis Gibbs

            Nurture they do, and do it so beautifully! My appreciation of them is unending.
