Woman | Thank You For Loving Me

Valentines Day Poem For Women…. Thank Her For Loving You!

 

WOMAN

You say that you are but a woman – you
Who are so very wonderful to me.
You tell me there is little you can do,
Little indeed that all the world can see.
There are no battles on the open plain
That you can fight, as I , a man, can fight;
But who shall say your life is lived in vain
if all my darkened days you have kept light?

OH, Little woman-heart, be glad, be glad
That you are what God made you! Well I know
How you have nerved me when the day was sad,
And made me better – yeah, and kept me so!
Your little home, with folded hands, can be
A silent influence to whose source I trace.
The little good there ever was in me.

TO BE a woman! Is there any more
That you have need to be from day to day?
How wonderful to have your heart, your store
Of purity and goodness, and to say,
“One that I love is nobler since I came;
One that loves me is better for my sake.”
A woman! Oh, there is no greater name
That ever on the mortal tongue shall wake!
