Women

(Spring, 2010)


A woman is a special thing

A gladness in my heart they bring.

A winsome smile, a gentle touch,

Is all I seek, yet it is much.

Only one captured my heart,

Only one right from the start.

Only one was right for me,

Only one has set me free.

Yet many may brighten my day,

A glance, a nod, a certain sway.

A rare design, unique, and fair,

Sometimes I cannot move, but stare.

And wonder, at their soul’s great depth,

Sometimes they take away my breath.

I cannot ask for more, nor less,

for I am blessed with their kindness.
