Women

Women

Women have strengths that amaze men.

They carry children, they carry hardships, they carry burdens,

but they hold happiness, love, and joy.

They smile when they want to scream.

They sing when they want to cry.

They cry when they are happy and laugh when they are nervous.

Women wait by the phone for a "safe at home call" from a friend

after a snowy drive.

Women have special qualities about them.

They volunteer for good causes.

They are pink ladies in hospitals, they bring food to shut-ins.

They are childcare workers, executives, attorneys,

stay-at-home moms, biker babes and your neighbors.

They fight for what they believe in.

They stand up for injustice.

They are in the front row of PTA meetings.

They walk and talk the extra mile to get their children in

the right schools and for getting their family the right health care.

They stick a love-note in their lovers' lunchbox.

They do without new shoes so their children can have them.

They go to the doctor with a frightened friend.

They love unconditionally.

Women are honest, loyal, and forgiving.

They are smart in knowing that knowledge is power.

But they still know how to use their softer side to make a point.

Women want to be the best for their families, their friends, and themselves.

They cry when their children excel and they cheer when their friends

get awards.

They are happy when they hear about a birth or a new marriage.

Their hearts break when a friend dies.

They have sorrow at the loss of a family member,

yet they are strong when they think there is no strength left.

A women can make a romantic evening unforgettable.

Women drive, fly, walk, run, or email you to show how much

they care about you.

The heart of a woman is what makes the world go 'round!

Women do more than just give birth.

They bring joy and hope.

They give compassion and ideals.

They give moral support to their family and friends.

And all they want back is a hug, a smile and for you

to do the same with people you come in contact with.

A Good Woman

A good woman is proud.

She respects herself and others.

She is aware of who she is.

She neither seeks definition from the person she is with,

nor does she expect them to read her mind.

She is quite capable of articulating her needs.

A good woman is hopeful.

She is strong enough to make her dreams come true.

She knows love, therefore she gives love.

She realizes that her love has great value and must be reciprocated.

If her love is taken for granted, it soon disappears.

A good woman has a dash of inspiration and a dabble of endurance.

She knows that she will at times have to inspire others

to reach the potential that God gave them.

A good woman knows her past, understands her present,

and forges toward the future.

A good woman knows God.

She knows that with God the world is her playground.

But without him, she will just be played with.

A good woman does not live in fear of the future because of her past.

Instead she understands that her life experiences are merely

lessons meant to bring her closer to self-knowledge

and unconditional self-love.
