Bad Wife vs Good Wife

A bad wife scorns with words like storms,
She shatters peace, in anger forms.
She builds up walls of cold disdain,
And lets her love slip down the drain.

A good wife speaks with gentle grace,
She calms the storms, brings warm embrace.
She lifts her partner when he's low,
And helps their shared love bloom and grow.

A bad wife hides behind her pride,
She turns away, lets kindness slide.
She chooses selfishness, not care,
And leaves her heart untouched, bare.

A good wife listens, soft and true,
She shares her hopes, in all they do.
She gives her trust, she builds their dreams,
Together strong, a flowing stream.

A bad wife’s path is dark and cold,
Her story often left untold.
But a good wife’s light forever shines,
A love that grows through all their times.
