Sentiments of a Woman

Sentiments of A Woman

Everyone has sentiments, we all know that, but a
woman's sentiments are sometimes hidden. She 
can pretend to be happy, when she is really blue.

A woman's sentiments are very deep, within her 
heart and soul. She can hide her feelings very well.
You can not tell, by looking at her - how much love, 
or pain she has endured.

A woman has to be strong, like a super woman. She
has to pretend that eveerything is alright - when it's not.
She does all this for her family. At night when she lays her
head on the pillow - she cries. She prays and thanks God
for letting her get through one more day....

Monterey Sirak February 21, 2014 at 6:43 AM Insightful and heartfelt. Sometimes life does that to a woman, it is never as bad if they cannot see her cry.

Mark Peterson February 20, 2014 at 1:31 AM A deeply reflective and thoughtful write. It makes me realize once again how difficult, if not impossible, it is for me to know the heart of a woman. But then, I do not even know myself all that well because negative experiences have clouded whatever it is that I might have become without them. Lucilla Carrillo February 20, 2014 at 10:58 AM Thank you so much for reading my poem. I just write about what I have seen or about my own expirences. There are some pretty good men out there too. Let's just say that we need each other.

John Loving Iii February 19, 2014 at 5:49 PM this tells me that what i worry about i have even more to worry about. i dont want a woman crying about my problems but i can point out the women that probably do. Lucilla Carrillo February 19, 2014 at 8:39 PM Hi John; Sometimes women hide their feelings so they don't worry their husband or family.There are men that worry too, but some women go through a lot in this life.

Phyllis Babcock February 19, 2014 at 12:28 PM Yes as a woman we hold so much within ourselves to make other around us happy. A wonderful poem. love phyl Lucilla Carrillo February 19, 2014 at 5:36 PM Hi Phyllis; I am so glad that you liked the poem. maybe not all women are like that, but most of them are.

Darren Watson February 18, 2014 at 3:13 AM A woman gave birth to me . Every day of my life I rose from my bed and went downstairs to be greeted by my mother and 5 elder sisters , So I did learn very quickly to appreciate women and all they bring into this world of ours. They never understood the agonies of man flu but I still wouldn't trade a day of my childhood memories of the women in my life for all the gold in the world. Lucilla Carrillo February 18, 2014 at 8:58 AM Thank you Darren for such a nice comment. My poem does not mean that all women are like this,but a lot that I knew have gone through a lot. A real mother that cares will do anything foe her family. I am glad that you understand...

David Williams February 17, 2014 at 11:38 AM Hi Lucilla a nice piece about the female strength, lots of men are the same...David Lucilla Carrillo February 17, 2014 at 5:24 PM Yes David; you are so right. There are a lot of good men out there.

Anne-Lise Andresen February 16, 2014 at 1:20 PM - Lucilla, it is so true what you write here - I will hang it on the wall in front of all men .... maybe they will someday understand a woman .... do you think? - Thank you my friend. - Have a lovely new week. - oxox // Anne-Lise :) Lucilla Carrillo February 17, 2014 at 5:27 PM Thank you AnneLise. A lot of us women have to put up with a lot through out our lives.

Jerry Bolton February 16, 2014 at 9:17 AM I don't understand this. The women I have been associated with during my nearly seventy-six years on this earth had no problem letting me know exactly how they felt. I'm certainly not saying there aren't some women who stifle their feelings, but all women? Lucilla Carrillo February 16, 2014 at 9:44 AM Hi Jerry; You are right, not all women are like that - the same as not all men are bad either, but as human beings we make mistakes and sometimes wind up with the wrong person. Now days it is hard to find a good man, or woman, but they are out there. I know - tjhanks for reading.

Robert Andrew Lyle February 16, 2014 at 7:51 AM great piece on the burden borne daily by women worldwide. Who shall hear her softly sobbing.in bed to wake up in the morning with her protective smile on her face. well written Lucilla . Andy Lyle Lucilla Carrillo February 16, 2014 at 9:49 AM Thank you Robert for such a nice comment. As I told Jerry not all are like that, but a lot of the ones I know are, including me.

Arthur Vaso February 15, 2014 at 10:23 PM What a lovely poem! Shall I write the mens version? I think some of us men and women, suffer more than others as we feel life's burdens not only ours but all of mankinds, such is the tender heart. Lucilla Carrillo February 16, 2014 at 9:55 AM Hi Arthur; Yes, yes I do believe that you should write something on this. We are not all good, we are not all bad either. blessings...
