Samson's counterpart She is of Samson's complement, With strength beyond mine. She lifts the world from my shoulders. With multi opine. She cooks, cleans and tends the children And protects our home. She lifts the weight of decisions Lightly as a comb. A lioness, a provider. A huntress on call. And she sweeps away our problems Like leaves in the fall. Our temple has many pillars Well tested and worn May it never stir Delilah With scissors of shorn. |

KEWL....  She'll stand beside you night and day You'll never ever be forlorn She'll help you stand atop the world But don't be messin' with her scorn....  |

And who could trust such a virtuous woman...and let her run her fingers through their hair? She is such a "tease". I love this. Sincerely, Regina |

A lovely poem for the lady who keeps the home fires burning. She's obviously very special. If she who dies with the most toys wins, then can I have some toy boys please? |
