Ode To a Woman

See that familiar form:
Happy joy strikes a norm,
Warm refuge from life's storms.


Sense a fond smile now squeeze:
Heart flutters in the breeze,
Kind comfort in harsh sneeze.


Delight frames a fond face:
Beauty in warm embrace,
Warm eyes that hurl kind grace.


Sure poise of charming voice:
Calm touch that cancels noise,
Silent resolve floods choice.


Bright sparkling eyes tell all:
Heed the lovely sans gall,
Wise beyond life's stern call.


You wear a certain glow:
Your heart speaks truth you show,
A touch that helps us know.


You mother well our days:
Touch of purpose that stays,
The path upon the way.


What is man without you?
You bring meaning that woos,
Love lives in all you do.
