When She Is Ready

She’ll talk when she is ready.
Things bear on a woman, you see,
things bear that men do not have
or own the tools to comprehend.
Give her time, time and love,
and when she’s ready,
in the  fullness of a woman’s time,
then you will know.

Thank you for the recognition. Obviously, you've dealt with "it" a few times!  It takes a few times, years, decades, to know.
The same be true the other way around...

It's an easy thing to know, if a man's awake to it. I get at least one lesson every single day -- two on bad days, when I'm particularly dense....

Ed,
Ratleader (the leader of rats?)  I think not!  You should be the leader of the entire male species.  I need to sit down and make a list of men I would like to send this one to...BRAVO!!!!
