Why Settle For Half

Why Settle For Half Did the Creator not give me, eyes for which I might see And feel His grace upon my face, with the light that sets me free To hold my voice in silents would be a mortal sin Why should I shrink, before those who think They're superior for just being men He's blessed me with the sense to know the strength of faith and hope So until that day, Ill say my say and find a way to cope It's true, I read the written word That in Gods image, He made man Then made the woman in likewise form To complete the perfect plan ~JT Curtis A Woman from God I do not cover my eyes because God gave me sight; just as he did man I do not cover my face because God made the sun to shine on it; just as it does man I do not hold my voice because God made it beautiful; just as he did man I do not hold my thoughts because God gave me sense; just as he did some men He gave me a mind that I may know one day I will see a better place than this …that I might hold on to the hope of living where life is no longer ruled by the arrogance of man He told me I was a complement; that I balance the one for whom I was made. ….because I too was made in His image. ~FJ Thomas

wow, so Flo did the second one ,right? I love how she spoke up for women and how it "completes" what you started. I am hoping this is for the Patriarchal contest? It's perfect for that one.
