The Body of a Woman

From the outside looking in,
It must be so difficult for a man
To understand the body of a woman.

The monthly loss of blood alone
Should be enough to make a man
Lose his appetite. The strangeness
Of it all must leave them baffled.

But, for some reason, a man will
Still crave the body of a woman.
He cannot help himself and so,
The man will force himself upon her.

And that, little one, that is why
The body of a woman is to be
Honored, loved, cherished, and
Protected.
