Womanly is the meaning of my name. My name is feminine version of Andrew, which means "manly." (the judge can't see this part of my post)

__________________________________________________________________________

Wisdom resides in the meaning Of my name, for most females are naturally wise. More compassion have I than masculinity provides. A warmth shines forth from my blue-grey eyes. Not domineering like those in the macho throng. Lover of lavender, lace and romance am I - Yet, like a man, I can be strong! Jan. 19, 2020 for the What's In a Name Poetry Contest of Juliet Ligon
