Woman

Have you ever pondered why God made woman so?
Before her creation, his world seemed pale,
The sun, moon, mountains, valleys in woe,
Lifeless, a stream flowing without a tale.

Then tender as flowers, beautiful as the moon,
Tough as rocks, patient like waves on the shore,
Tears from dew, filled with love to cocoon,
He gifted heavenly smiles and so much more.

But she flirted and enticed with love's embrace,
Binding lives together with hugs and kisses,
Through joy and sorrow, they found their place,
Imperfections turned to unity's blisses.

Yet, God wondered why agony thrived,
His intent was happiness and togetherness derived.

This is a lovely sonnet on why God made woman. The world was bereft of beauty and cheer before He made her. But she didn't use the gift of God in the right way. Congratulations Jay on your win.
