Respect a Woman

A woman is as right as rainbow
brighter than the sun, stars and…shadows;
she’s the tower of power in thy mean marrow
lend her a healthy heart…a pleasant pillow

Fragile like an egg, she needs care and caution
she’s a shining star, begging for thy attention;
a flavored flower she is, sprinkle thy affection 
on her, she’s got thousands of treasures that need protection

When teardrops fall from thy swollen skies
She’s got neat napkin to dry your eyes
When grey turns her blue, blessed skies
Don’t lend her the luggage of loss and lies

Respect a woman- you need someone to hold you tight
And to be thy angel all through the night
Respect a woman just like you need a white knight
That will be your might whenever you are light
