I once met a woman
wise beyond her years
possessed of inner strength
not one given to tears

I was confused;
lost in the light
She captured my eye
and we slid into the night

I asked her for wisdom
“I’ll offer what I can”
and what she showed me
was truth in woman and man

Men are seeking a reason
a purpose to their lives
This they find in women
be they lovers or wives

Women seek hope
for a better life
seeking within man
as either lover or wife

Do struck was I
so lost in thought
that I forgot
for what I fought

When I next see her
I’ll say I understand
That she be woman
and I man

That she’s given me purpose
another reason to live
and I’ll ask if she’ll accept
all I have to give

I’ll be your hope
I’ll give it my all
and I’ll always be there
to break your fall

When young meets the aged,
and bows with respect...
the wizened give gifts
that would ne'er know neglect...

Wise words, young man...
