Women, Consider This

This reporter rediscovered the following poem, “an oldie but a goodie,” and it again reminds one of the wonder of women.

With Mother’s Day to be celebrated in another week, I would like to emphasize all the roles women undertake, all the joys, all the pitfalls and all the delights of being a woman.

I think it’s the little things that remind us how good it is to be alive, to be a mother and to be a woman.

Most information signifies this poem as Author Unknown but one source lists Paul Jenkins as the writer.

 ONE FLAW IN WOMEN

Women have strengths that amaze men…

They bear hardships and they carry burdens,

but they hold happiness, love and joy.

They smile when they want to scream.

They sing when they want to cry.

They cry when they are happy

and laugh when they are nervous.

They fight for what they believe in…

They stand up to injustice.

They don’t take “no” for an answer

when they believe there is a better solution.

They go without so their family can have.

They go to the doctor with a frightened friend.

They love unconditionally.

They cry when their children excel

and cheer when their friends get awards.

They are happy when they hear about a

a birth or a wedding.

Their hearts break when a friend dies.

They grieve at the loss of a family member,

yet they are strong when they

Think there is no strength left.

They know that a hug and a kiss

Can heal a broken heart.

Women come in all shapes, sizes and colors.

They’ll drive, fly, walk, run or e-mail you

to show how much they care about you.

The heart of a woman is what

makes the world keep turning.

They bring joy, hope and love.

They have compassion and ideas.

They give moral support to their

family and friends.

Women have vital things to say

And everything to give..

HOWEVER, IF THERE IS

ONE FLAW IN WOMEN,

IT IS THAT THEY FORGET THEIR WORTH.

Pass this along to all your women friends and relatives to remind them just how amazing they are!!
