She

She never had a male role model
Or male figure in her in childhood 
From a family of five females
Women is what she understood

She was a sweet girl
Quite gullible and naive
As she grew into womanhood
Male interactions were not well received

She encountered inappropriate behaviours
A health professional did her wrong
She was fearful of the opposite sex
Until you came along

You were kind and you were funny
So safe she felt with you
A good and decent honest man 
Restoring her faith and fearful view

You have loved her a lifetime
She has loved you
You are the perfect role model
The one she never knew …..
