A Woman's Worth

The measure of a woman's worth 
is often underestimated, 
do not judge her by her birth,
her life will not be predicated 
on her willingness to please
or her gentle loving way,
misrepresent her, 
and there'll be hell to pay!

Robin L. Gass Date: 12/19/2008 10:36:00 PM This is so cute and astute! I know a lot of men who could learn from this! Thank you for reading My Story. Not all of it is in the past, unfortunately. It's hard to live when you have to walk on eggshells all the time. I hate fighting and arguing all the time. I have had a lifetime of that and my feelings being disregarded. Still happening. So hard to explain. FYI there is no physical violence except things that get broken. Sorry for chewing off your ear! Thank you for listening. Love Robin Login to Reply

Michelle Mac Donald Date: 12/15/2008 11:12:00 AM Oh my, misrepresentation by misinterpretation? Might take rapid thoughts or quick feet to get away from that one!:) You're so very diverse in your topics, but you handle each one remarkably well, Keith! Fun to read...definitely pushes one into think mode. Are women more touchy and sensitive? That's a debatable question, hey?! I think men are the same, but they can hide it more easily!:) Hope all's well with you and yours! God bless...Love, Mikki Login to Reply
