What Is a Woman

What is a woman, but of age;
Beauty and warmth, cool as iced summer lemonade;
A vision of loveliness, equip with heaven bless;
With a nurturing demeanor conquer of things most men imagine;
Softly caressing caring for children soothes them with a kiss;
And the depth of her hair tells of the stories she shares;
Given warm silky milk from the dish of complex;

What is a woman, taken from a man;
and alas does this make him half a man
does it make her a whole wo-man

WA hat is a woman taken from  a man;
a soft curve figure was all in God's plan;
A performance of inspired inspirations created in the heavens;
I won't take down on this;
is what a woman is?
A beauty yet stern;
A nurturer yet firm;
a mother/grandmother;
A respected believed person;
Taken from the rib of Adam;

That is what a woman is.
