When He Is Ready

He’ll talk when he is ready.
Things bear on a man, you see,
things bear that women do not have
or own the tools to comprehend.
Give him time, time and love,
and when he’s ready,
in a man’s time he will find a way;
then you will know.

Well, sometimes you have to wait actively....the way you wait for your golf ball to fall into the cup......

A copy of this should be included with every wedding gift... such wise words... so beautifully written.

Ed,

Be patient and allow him the space and time to speak his thoughts.  That is what I am giving to someone I care for right now.  It has been a couple of months, but I still feel as if he will someday be ready.  

Thanks for reminding me.  It seems today I cannot stop thinking of him.  I will have to sit under BC's Weeping Willow and ponder your verse in the sunshine of tomorrow.

You are so wise!

-Patricia

excuse me... but women have been practicing this for centuries, and you can be sure, she'll never say a word until she is good and ready, and even then, we'll probably will be the last to know.

just reversing the pronouns........
