James Howerton Poet Rhyme

In a foolish man's world

See
 in a foolish man's world, 
listening to a woman's opinion
is regarded secondary;
 the revolutions of her mind 
deemed unnecessary; 
placing her needs above all else
 is done rarely; 
learning how to handle her heart
 is arbitrary.
But 
in the thinking man's world, 
a woman is never considered
 secondary; 
he understands the importance 
of praising her daily; 
she's God's greatest gift to him,
 therefore she's primary; 
poetically speaking, 
she is the sweetest berry 
on his tree of life.

See, 
in a foolish man's world,
 overlooking a woman's true value
 is legendary; 
appreciating for all she does
 is regarded as unnecessary; 
making her his main focus
 is done rarely; 
because he doesn't see her 
as a blessing,
 and that type of thinking is scary.
But, 
in a thinking man's world,  
she is his guiding light,
 he breathes in her essence 
and exhales Paradise.
He acknowledges she is his Rock,
 his foundation,
 his heart's delight,
 be she daughter, mother, girlfriend, 
sister or wife, 
she should always be respected 
and treated right.

See, 
in a foolish man's world, 
praising a woman is considered 
secondary; 
but in the thinking man's world,
  he uplifts his Queen daily.
