Wayword

She followed love To an unknown door Having no idea What she was there for The answer to all Unrelated to situation Spoke the words That rang the perfect vibration ...in her soul He sat in a cell Boxed in by behavior A cook in the kitchen Treated him to a new flavor She smiled as she presented The food offered to the throng A simple gesture displayed Gave good in the presence of wrong ...systems of thinking The babies lie in their cribs Too many to cuddle and hold But a touch to each Kept hope alive til words could unfold Lies that have captured A culture to believe That girls are not valued Beyond what their wombs can conceive ...in a nation of men There is a Way to Word That straightens out our mess No experience, perspective, or position Could lead us to guess ..........meaning Written by Trudy Schrader on 07-19-2018

Thank you! Although I like the rhythm of rhyme, I try endeavor to allow them to flow rather than behave :)
