A woman's question

by: Lena Lathrop

Do you know that you have asked for one of the costliest thing

Ever made by the Hand above?

A woman's heart, and a woman's life -

And a woman's wonderful love

Do you know you have asked for this priceless thing

As a child might ask for a toy?

Demanding what other have died to win,

With the reckless dash of a boy

You have written my lesson of duty out,

Manlike. you have questioned me.

Now stand at the bars of a woman's soul

Until i shall question thee.

You require your mutton shall always be hot,

Your socks and your shirt be whole;

I require your heart be true as God's stars

And as pure as His heaven your soul

You require a cook for your mutton and beef,

I require a far greater thing;

A seamstress you're wanting for socks and shirts -

I look for a man and king

A king for the beautiful realm called Home,

And a man that His Maker, God,

Shall look upon as He did on the first

and say:' It is very good.'

I am fair and young, but the rose may fade

From this soft young cheek one day;

Will you love me then 'mid the falling leaves,

As you did 'mong the blossoms of May?

Is your heart and ocean so strong and true,

I may launch on my all on its tide?

A loving woman finds heaven or hell

On the day she is made a bride

I require all things that are grand and true,

All things that a man should be;

If you give this all, I would stake my life

To be all you demand of me

If you cannot be this, a laundress and cook

You can hire and little to pay;

But a woman's heart and a woman's life

are not to be won that way

This poem, should remind girls out there just how precious their heart is. And they deserve to be loved by a man and not to be used by them.. i think the reason there are so many defective relationships out there is because girls out there do not know their value, that they deserves to be treated well.

ytd had ball game after giving tuition and studying with bernice. it as raining and no one was there yet so some of us hid at the shelter. and there before us, was a beautiful rainbow.

RAINBOW

and with that, i shan't comment further.

With love,
