*.* You wonder how a man could ever love *.* A woman for all the reasons they give What would I know of a man? But the obvious as I was taught Both of might and of meekness I can Picture perfect by face or by thought *.* So finicky and different for sure *.* I’ve no idea how as a pair we’d live What would I know of the dark? But the flicker of lighthearted games Both above and below any mark Partly boy, partly oak in fine frames *.* They go to bed and give you their backside *.* Always the cold shoulder when you are warm What would I know of the way? But to see in his silence found tears Both of sad and of happy display Passed in mood, left to dry through the years *.* They think they are special, you shouldn’t chide *.* They want tender hugs, the strength of an arm What would I know of a man? But the hunger to make his own way Both of strength and of weakness he can Picture still by his hand each new day *.* He wants the frills without all of the fine print *.* She wants the tenderness and caring ear What would I know of his heart? But the deepest of seas to be sailed Both of joy and of anguish in part Partly saint, partly sinner prevailed *.* He wants the smell of that womanly scent *.* She wants him to simply say he’ll be here What would I know of this love? But the gathering into my arms Both the sun and the moon be made of Partly God, partly satan in charms *.* You wonder how a man could ever love *.* A woman for all the reasons they give What would I know of a man? But forgiveness and comfort combined Both irreverent fire and sun tan Picture perfect in love now resigned Copyright Magnus/ThisDiamond 9/28/02 [This message has been edited by ThisDiamond (09-29-2002 11:09 AM).] |

Thanx Kathy....enjoyed the fencing duel... For the record....SHE made me write all of those awful things about you girls....Wanted to get me in hot water... (grins)... I feel like I am in a big boiling pot, and someone is checking to see if the stew needs more salt..... |

Barry and Kathy I really enjoyed the back and forth of this...so poignant it gave me goose bumps with its reality, sweetness and sense of humor. Thank you again for another wonderful duet!! |
