Choice Words

Choice Words A woman's place was always in the home To stand beside her man and disappear To pride herself in matters of his worth And never talk about her dreams and fears. No education needed for this task To keep his house and propagate his seeds. Our worth was ranked by his prosperity. Silently we surrendered our own needs. Equality weighed heavy on our hearts. We fought for many years for parity. At last we proved we’re equal to a man, Except for our superiority! History will show that we prevailed. Giving us a choice was where he failed.

Sacrifices made by choice in love. I also think you should have had the freedom to be more yourself and explore Susans wants and desires. It was only fair. Michael

It took a lot of trial and error Michael, but I finally did find that freedom. Thank you, Susan Maree
