A woman can lift you or break you.

A woman…
The bold one. 
And the silent one. 
The laughing one. 
And the angry one. 
The one full of constant complaints. 
Of discontent. 
Of tear-streaked cheeks. 

Closed off. 
Misunderstood. 
Fighting. 
Wounded. 

She gives you nothing. 
She’ll make you breakfast, lunch, and dinner. 
Hug your children. 
Clean your house. 
Do the shopping. 
Go to the bank. 

But she’ll give you nothing more 
when she feels 
Unseen 
Unheard 
Unneeded for anything beyond the routine. 

Routine is great for brushing your teeth. 
Routine is great for feeling safe. 
Routine is great for staying organized. |

But in love, routine is the daily watering 
of Her – your woman. 
Watering her with words 
that help her feel good. 
It’s a warm tone of your voice 
that says Good morning, 
So nice to see you – today too. 
A gesture of handing her a coffee. 
A plate taken from the table. 
A kiss on the neck instead of a squeeze on the butt. 
You can squeeze but only after three kisses first 😉 
You could receive so many beautiful things… 
But first, you have to water her. 

With what? 
With your attention. 
Time for talk. 
Doing something together. 
You can play. 
Laugh at silly things. 
There’s got to be something. 
There definitely was something… 
That slipped away in the everyday. 
In the routine. 
In the tiredness. 

You get frustrated. 
And your flower begins to wilt. 
Water her today with a new breath. 
A hug on the stairs. 
Opening the door to your home. 
A flower – even just one. 

Wrap her in your care. 
In your strength. 
And she’ll give you her beauty. 
And her softness.
