HAPPY WOMEN'S HISTORY MONTH

A Woman's Poem

A woman is the calm of a hurricane's eye where a man
   finds tranquility as the storm passes by
A woman is the softness inside the shell when the
   shell is bombarded by man's creation of hell
A woman is the pillar of a temple foundation
   where a man comes and goes with renewed inspirations
A woman is the cloud that carries the rain
   giving life to man's soul parched from anxieties and pain
A woman is the bank of the river flows
   helping man's direction by being the woman she knows
A woman is the sound of a Lark's song in the morning
   when mist covers life and man feels forlorn
A woman is the emotions shared with a man the climax
   of giving by the touch of a hand
A woman is the flesh that holds the seed the miracle
   of birth fulfilling human need
A woman is the mother of a new generation a man is the
   direction of that aspiration

Show me someone not full of herself and i'll show you a hungry person
