February 2002 Third Prize "A Real Woman" When it comes to a man She gives unconditional love When he's put forth all he can His happiness is what she thinks of She's the life support of his hopes The anchor for his dreams When times are tough she helps him cope Even when he comes apart at the seams She understands anything that comes along Always trying to turn a smile Even when the tough times are gone She can make you forget for awhile Yet to him she promises herself Giving him her utmost respect Never thinking of anyone else Rising above what he expects She pleases him in everyway she knows Sacraficing her own thoughts Afraid that some day he might go Forgetting everything she's been taught This woman you see is true Grasping for her is real Treat her as if she's what makes the sky blue Treasure her as if she's a gold mine to steal The only one in her eyes The salt in her tears The echo in her cries She thrives on her fears She will never tell a lie to you She expects the same in return She'll always be there to see you thru A real woman is what you get in turn Contributed by Persephany (W) Copyright © 2002 Persephany.
