The Freedom to Be
I am vulnerable, confused, flawed, twisted I am what I am. I don’t want to cook, don’t want to clean. I don’t want to be A wife or a mother. I choose what I will not be. I can wear a six yard or a two piece I can shun style And chose comfort instead. I decide to look how I feel. I may soar, I...

How roles may turn
One was trained To be the king of the table One was bred To be the king of the dead Hand in hand, down the path they walk Hand in hand, watching the future they sought Flash by In the blink of an eye The king of the dead is surrounded by the table And the king of the table is surrounded by death...

The Farmers Market
Being a man, and not only a man but a married man, I cannot deny that there are women who could appropriately be called nags. This should not be confused with the right of the wife to have her voice in the marriage. The husband cannot forget that she has the right and the freedom...

Premium Member Christmas Roles
This 4th day of December will find Millions musing about their Christmas roles. They shall ponder, "What shall I be called upon to do for, to give to, the cause of Jesus Christ? They shall ask, "How shall my task compare with that of the star and Biblical characters?" The star's assignment was to guide. The innkeeper's job was to house. The Wisemen's...

The Roles of Education
Wrongdoing such as cheating, lying, bullying ... Prohibited strictly and used often as warnings This fact relieved me, and left me a feeling Any of which will be no longer our problem It took me a long march of experience to tell Those tricky things can indeed achieve winners Alike the rich, well-known, and high officials Needing to...

Compatinant Judge's and Their Transformative Roles
In robes of empathy, a judge should stand, Learning mental struggles, extending a hand, Understanding the pipeline's unjust strife, For underprivileged souls, a chance at life. No bail bondsman's grip, a system redefined, Where fairness and justice are closely aligned, Juveniles, tender hearts, scarred by the past, Guidance and understanding, to heal and hold fast. With wisdom and care, these wounds they'll address, Through...

Our Roles
I won’t go sledding down a hill (Though other grandmas surely will) But I will never have my fill Of nestled grandkids, reading. A jungle gym gives some a thrill Or skiing might just fit the bill Yet I’d prefer to walk or chill, The chance of risk receding. At homework time, I have the skill To help and hopefully instill The patience to complete...

Boys Don'T Cry
Everyone's always told me that boys don't cry, But though I ask, no one's ever told me why. Don't all kids cry when they fall down And walk around with a sad little frown? Don't all kids get hurt now and then Whether in the schoolyard or playpen? What if someone breaks my toys Shouldn't I make some sort of noise? What if...

Kids say, “You just don’t understand!” Sides struggle for the upper hand. High school flies by. Adulthood nears. To life, they’ll give their very best while parents share an empty nest. Grandkids arrive, to rousing cheers. Grandparents feel...

Premium Member Gender Roles
I grew up in the fifties and sixties. Gender roles were almost absolute Back in small town Iowa. Daddies worked. Mommies didn’t. Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Dad’s escaped from the drudgery of housework, homework, cleaning, cooking, laundry, dusting, gardening, painting, sewing, knitting. My mother was constantly busy from five a.m. Until midnight when she went to bed. I watched my father go to work...
