Words can wear such differing clothes
Indeed
Some are mountain top experiences
One leaps to mind, for those who love Him,
Jesus
Another word has grown as I have
that would be the title ‘Lady’
Indeed
Some are mountain top experiences
One leaps to mind, for those who love Him,
Jesus
Another word has grown as I have
that would be the title ‘Lady’
Sure, she can be a queen
but the word is much larger, not confined
held captive by parentage, nobility
and, Sure,
“In the beginning, He created them.
Male and female he created them.
In His own image, He created them.”
Lady brings together
beauty
mystery
complexity
class
poise
female
and often, mother
Seems men are sort of simple
although they have their ways
Gentleman is welcomed too,
but Lady deserves a pause, reflection
for what she brings to us
although they have their ways
Gentleman is welcomed too,
but Lady deserves a pause, reflection
for what she brings to us
She softens the world
sculpting away sharp edges
her hands, her touches,
her knowing looks
smiles and frowns
and questioning expressions
link us to still waters
green pastures
home
And then,
Praise God from whom all blessings flow,
she has a baby!
Lift your glass with me
to give a toast to those
who rise so high and stay there:
“Lady”!
