Counselor, guider, main provider; It was in the cards.

Fight intruders; daughters suitors; Always bills to pay.

Worklife, homelife; No alone life; Much too much to do.
Lead or follow; Soar or wallow; Schizophrenic you.

Strong and gentle; sentimental; Heal catastrophes.
From broken parts to wounded hearts; They learn from you to be.

Others measure, but small pleasures all you can afford;
Lover, teacher, tyrant, preacher; Wield a paper sword.

A silent plea for time to be; The man you hide inside;
To carry on when you are gone; The gift you left behind.

No rest for the men. always taken for-granted. I love this. All we ever hear about is how women feel so unappreciated. we need more truths just like this beautifully penned work of art. The flow is unbelievable in this as well. I found my self reading it over and over.

Is it conceited of me to say that I find myself in
your words. Granted every thing youve said may not be entirely true about me but so much of it is.
Great piece my friend and I have to agree that it
is beautifully penned and the way it flow couldnt be better.
