Birthday Blessings: Women of South Africa Rsa

I A day after Mayday, not observed in the US of A But everywhere else, that's where my loves "stay" On May 2, I celebrate the birth of one fine woman Who went to University of Hard Knocks, and won Her victory - through Christ - makes me pen thanks To all women I had known through adolescence II The women of RSA are as hard-working as any anywhere Many will pick up a tool and do a decent repair Yes, my American friends excel, & we expect it there But ladylike, approachable, yet able to demand things fair While doing that which appears in Genesis, Proverbs (Scripture) The balance amazes, birthday wishes & praises, I deliver

Jan, a real pleasure to have you grace this poem with your quality of appreciation. It was slow, hard work ... to get rid of the truly abusive ideas & ways of thinking (we men in RSA, and ??) had about girls & women. My mom & hard-working sisters quietly "converted" me. Not soon enough for mom (she died at age 64 in 2005). LORD ... amen. shalom, shalom my dear Sister in the LORD. anil
