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.
