Woman
~~~
To the pretty girls, running slow
Who let us steal playground kisses
To smiling eyes that seem to know
How to encourage loving wishes
~~~
To the maidens, fair and lovely
Who easy win our needy hearts
To the Gods realmed above me
Who perfected the gendered art
~~~
To your parents who raised you well
Who gave you your inner strength
To those who find their love in life
Regardless of the gifted length
~~~
To every painted flirtatious eye
Who can make a man fall
To all the women in our world
Who bring beauty to it all
~~~
I offer only a humble thanks
That you are exactly who you are
For an imagined world without you
Is a night sky without the stars
