Jung said we have an unconscious feminine and male psyche,
It dwells inside and manifests in dreams and activities we do;
Now, I realize that I have a male side although I am a girl,
When I think about my husband he had an anima, a feminine side.
He dwells in his heavenly realm now, he is a name engraved,
But, in life he was my masculine shield, my protector, my strong hero;
He was the provider, he was full of wisdom and well spoken,
Yet, there was a side, soft and nurturing, emotional, he could cry.
He loved a bubble bath, cooking and satin sheets on the bed,
Adored the color purple and holding hands, he had a very gentle soul;
I could take him to romantic, girly movies and he liked them,
Yet, he and his buddies would cheer and crunch cans watching sports.
I always thought he was a contradiction but I guess not,
He just had a lot of anima, and that combination of soft and strong;
Was so appealing, which makes me think we must have both,
To be complete, a male side and a female side, dwelling in our psyche
