This Lisa
Some man deserves the right to give her love
this Lisa
Lisa with her woman’s strength
which earns no ribbons or applause.
While loud men shout and brandish bravado to intimidate
she does what must be done.
Unlike the men who marred her past
and left her life the scars she never bares
to use or lean upon.
Some better man than me will see and know
the truth of her and love her.
And he may never bother to begin
to try to tell
how beautiful she is.
