I rambled city streets
wandered the countryside
I've slept in places you wouldn't believe
sown my seed and plundered
what I was missing
was the strength of a woman
a woman's touch
healing power
and eyes bore of history's liberation
for my lost soul
I needed
the feeling of her comfort
the solace of her charm
and her true concerns like a quiet snowfall
and the springtime of her smile
would that she could have lead me
out of my despair
and into the consciousness of my soul
when I would have strayed
too far beyond
when the street life beat me down
and put my life in confusion
grant me the resolve of a woman

What a wonderful tribute to women in this piece Jerry! Some deep thinking here I think.

This is a nice tribute to women, Jerry. I have come to know that it must be the right woman (or man) for the right reasons.

I enjoyed your poem, Jerry. The resolve of a woman is harder earned than a man can imagine, but it is good to know that it is recognised, at least, by some. Smiles.
