He Said He’s Just A Boy…
One night in our conversation, I asked someone of a question– a question which he asked me first. Of course when he asked, I answered him… from my heart and truthfuly. When it was already the time for me to ask him of it, he said this exactly: “An adult question can not be answered by a minor/boy.” Ok fine. We are really far different. He thinks he’s just a boy… still a boy. He always gives me the reason to feel bad about him when I am in the mood. But still I am trying to reach out to him. I’m trying to love him still… because he needs it. But he does not understand my point. He always rely on his feelings. He said he’s just a “boy”. Doesn’t he has the sense of pursuit to manhood? I hate him for this. But I still want to show my love for him… because I pitty him a lot… really… But he always misunderstand it… Because he does not want to understand it.
Costly Heart
This is my most favorite poem by Lena Lathrop. I cried when I first read this. It shows how a woman’s heart cannot be won easily. I hope as girls will read this, they will set their standards high because their love, their heart, is the costliest thing in the world. And guys too, would not take advantage of hurting us because we are meant to be loved truly and not to be hurt. Grand, Pure and True. ARE YOU MAN ENOUGH TO ANSWER?
A WOMAN’S QUESTION
Do you know you have asked for the costliest thing
Ever made by the hand above?
A woman’s heart, and a woman’s life–
And a woman’s wonderful love.
Do you know you have asked for this priceless thing
As a child might ask for a toy?
Demanding what others have died to win
With the reckless dash of a boy.
You have written my lesson of duty out,
Manlike, you have questioned me.
Now stand at the bars of my woman’s soul
Until I shall question thee.
You require your mutton shall always be hot,
Your socks and your shirt be whole;
I require your heart be as true as God’s stars
And as pure as His heaven your soul.
You require a cook for your mutton and beef,
I require a far greater thing;
A seamstress you’re wanting for socks and shirts—
I look for a man and a king.
A king for the beautiful realm called Home,
And a man that his Maker, God,
Shall look upon as he did on the first
And say: “It is very good.”
I am fair and young, but the rose may fade
From this soft young cheeck one day;
Will you love me then, ‘mid the falling leaves
As you did ‘mong the blossoms of May?
Is your heart an ocean so strong and true,
I may launch my all on its tide?
A loving woman finds heaven or hell
On the day she is made a bride.
I require all things that are grand and true,
All things that a man should be;
If you give this all, I would stake my life
To be all you demand of me.
If you cannot be this, a laundress and cook
You can hire and little to pay;
But a woman’s heart and a woman’s life
Are not to be won that way.
