A Wise Old Woman
Once this wise old woman told me,
A man should act like a man,
treat his woman well,
don't mess up to often,
and listen.
She said,
her marriage lasted 60 years,
to the same man,
all because,
he listened with his heart.
Treated her with respect,
and when he did mess up,
she chose to ignore, if it was not
too bad.
I ask her, what was too bad,
lying, cheating, drinking, smoking,
cursing, swearing, and just plain being lazy.
Other than that, things were fine.
