Best Devotionwoman Poems


Old Woman

There was an old woman whom would lay in her bed praying at night.
 
She prays for her children, family and friends for happiness, health and protection until the 
end.

Up in heaven this prayer is encased in a Crystal Statue for all to see.

An old womans love for eternity.

Her life has been spent loving all those whom mostly are not around.

For the old woman has taken a haven on Southern grounds.

Many years had been spent on jobs that to her were much of a dead end, just to make ends 
meet. 

She loved to work and gave it her best.

Many of her friends now lay to rest.

For now she lays in silence next to the man she loves.

The old womans hands crippled in pain, as she puts them together and begins to pray.

Woman

To be a woman is somwthing to be cherished.  A mother,sister,wife or friend.
To be a woman is something to be cherished.

I have a brain, my own mind.  I have rights, hopes and dreams.
To be a woman is aomething to be cherished.

I have the right for freedom, a voice to be heard.
I choose to love, I choose to love.

To be a woman is something to be cherished.  At the hands of a man woman shall not perish.

This poem was inspired by many books I have read on the mistreatment of woman.

A Little Boy Plays

A little boy plays quietly on the floor,
as an elderly woman walks through the door.
The little boy turns a smile on his face,
then the smile vanishes without a trace.
He says " I thought mommy was here to play",
please tell me when mommy will be home to stay.
The older woman with tears in her eyes,
can only answer the boy with unsure lies.
She tells him soon so have no fear, 
your mommy loves you and will soon be here.
So with a glimer of hope in this inocent heart,
he waits for the day him and his mommy are no longer apart.
