WOMEN HE ADMIRES

WOMEN HE ADMIRES

The poet admires women,

Most know where he is beginning…

Based on sight

The Poet’s delight,

Whether walking or standing or swimming!

–

He’s not a one-facet man,

There’s more to him than curves and tan…

Feminine character

He likes to observe,

Just looks ain’t enough for THIS man.

–

Her hair, nice curves and face,

Aren’t enough..she must show grace…

Direction from within

By the Holy Spirit’s having been

Living inside with Godly faith.

–

The poet likes women who are kind,

Especially to him nor does he mind…

That they choose to speak

On behalf of the weak

Compassionate their way, so inclined.

–

A woman’s growing faith, who’ll object,

Her speaking when needed, so direct…

Waking up sensitivities

Of Godly proclivities,

Does it happen often enough, I suspect?

–

As Abigail married a fool*

Her wisdom was her tool…

To save King David’s honor

When events were thrust upon her,

Her beauty, combined with wisdom, made men drool.

–

My wife knows how I stand,

That I’m hardly a perfect man…

I try to do as I ought

For principles well-fought,

Her character–her beauty–is grand!

–Jonathan Caswell

* Abigail married Nabal…the whole story is in the Bible Book of 1st Samuel, Chapter 25, verses 2 through 44.
