This Woman Lori LockHeart Who is this woman? I realize there may be no one who really knows. What does she think, feel, and believe Way deep down in her soul? What does she want, what does she need? How does the world look through her eyes? Is she in love, is she happy, And who holds her when she cries? This woman is surrounded By a circle of family and friends. They see a face, a life, and a quality, But they don’t really know who she is. She’s got a spark and a way about her That others need and desire, But if they’d look a bit more closely, They would see her fire. The essence of this woman Is a treasure many seek to find. It’s a mystery, and yet plain to see If anyone cared about her mind. This woman has so much to give and so much to say, And she’ll gladly take on the world. She’s sassy and strong, and yet in her heart This woman is sometimes a little girl. This woman is full of contradictions. She’s tender, yet she’s tough. She gives all of herself to others, And yet not quite enough. She’s grown into herself and yet she’s not Quite the woman she wants to be. Confidant and insecure, harsh and loving, Serious and playful, bound and free. You’ll never be able to break her spirit, ‘Cause she’s full of grit and gumption. What she needs is your respect and admiration, Not infatuation, so don’t make that assumption. This woman loves the mountains And finds complete peace by the sea. There are so many places she wants to go, And so many things she wants to be. Even though this woman is popular She’s a true loner at the core. And the few men she has loved Always left her needing more. There is so much to this woman. Her depths are deeper than the ocean’s blue. Look into the eyes reflecting in the glass, And see if this woman is you. Or look at the woman beside you. The one who completes your manly life. Make sure you appreciate who she is, And remember she’s more than just your friend, your lover, or your wife. Who is this woman? Can anyone really see? This woman is all of these things and more. This woman is me. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I hope you still feel small when you stand beside the ocean. Whenever one door closes I hope one more opens. Promise me you'll give faith a fighting chance. And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance - I hope you dance. song by LeeAnn Womack ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ |

Lori~ You been peeking into my heart again? LOL. This was excellent. Thanks for posting this tonight...it was exactly the type of poem I needed to read. I am glad that you at least know who you are and are true to yourself. So many women do not and are not. Take care my friend. Nice poem!! Amy  "Don't be dismayed at goodbyes. A farewell is before you can meet again. And meeting again after a moment or a lifetime is certain for those who are friends." "Fate exists but it can only take you so far, Because once you're there It's up to you to make it happen." |

Lori* Welcome back and with a BANG!! Oh my goodness but you know how to dig girl! This is the echo of J.M.'s earlier post today...you two were writing on the same page today! So many mirrors are in this Lori....wow, I was amazed that J.M. could look into her soul and see mine and now there is you...there is comfort in knowing that another knows where you are coming from and what you are going through, I find the pain and the tears in your post but also the comfort of understanding. What does she think, feel, and believe Way deep down in her soul? They see a face, a life, and a quality, But they don’t really know who she is. She gives all of herself to others, And yet not quite enough. There are so many places she wants to go, And so many things she wants to be. Look into the eyes reflecting in the glass, And see if this woman is you. Or look at the woman beside you. Who is this woman? Can anyone really see? This woman is all of these things and more. This woman is me. So many mirrors in this my friend....so many mirrors. Again welcome home, I have missed you! |

My goodness this is lovely. We women probably about now should put out our own challenge to write a poem to slay a man's heart!!! ~netswan |
