Of Men and Women

    In measured strides men step
    one, a champion of industry
    another, desperately treading water
    no matter, their pursuit being 
      the holy grail of existence… 

    as women dig in, to man the
    barricades of hearth and soul

A beauteous penning, Gershon. A blessed Tuesday evening to you and your family. Shalom

Doesn't matter if it is not politically correct, it is correct. A family structure that will stand the test of time. Well written and said Gershon.

There was a lot of value in the good old days when everyone knew their role ~ today's confusion brings out the best and the worst of so-called opportunities.

Use to be that way, and it worked best for the children. Thoughtful write my friend. Lots of depth.
