Don’t expect miracles of strength
And mental stability
I’m just a woman
Fragile, weak, sensitive, emotional
I snap with the slightest wind
Of doubt
My rigidity
Is as tensile as my willpower
I make a strong stand
Only to bend with the breeze
From the slamming door
I’m just a woman
Don’t expect miracles
Like dry eyes
At weddings and soap operas
Like firm decisions
About anything at all
I’m just a woman
All you can expect from me
Is a partner that will never let you down
Who will cheer you
When you are sad
And comfort you when life is bad
Flexible enough
To give in adversity
When giving is called for
Firm enough to say no to temptation
When no is warranted
Strong enough
To boost you up when you are flagging
But weak enough
To admit I’m unhappy without you
I’m just a woman
I can only give you what I have to give
Love, passion, commitment
Respect, honesty (if I have to)
And above all
My heart
Treat it kindly
After all
How beautiful and true and although the word "just" belongs in this poem it does not belong to describing a woman who could write this or to any woman.
and what a woman. thanks for the help last night, i thought i was drowning.

Hi Sue,
All that twitching seems to have done wonders for your bra size.
I knew you could twitch many things,but never knew you could actually twitch your hair like that.
Have fun.
