A Good Woman

A Good Woman

Beautiful eyes and smiles
Who has her focus just on me
One who is honest and trustworthy
Who smells and tastes like honey

She loves me for who I am
Treats me like her king
Can laugh and giggle together
Just like my queen bee

She has a heart of gold
Always has my dinner ready
Puts on some lovely music
And always rolls with the flow

Even when I have things to do
She is totally understanding
She never leaves me blue
When I get home, she is never rambling

She welcomes me home with a kiss
Always waiting for me at the door
Staying in rhythm with total bliss
Despite if we are rich or poor

Thank You, Kathy
This may sound unrealistic in today's world, I suppose I am old school, so I will explain.
When I got married 40 years ago, before we got married our agreement was that I would work and provide for the family, and she would be the housewife and take care of the home while I was away. We were together for 22 years. It worked out well for us. This was the life I had lived then. She is no longer with us. It would be nice to find that again someday. Things have changed so much that most people do not think this way in today's world anymore. But I can still dream, Right?

I still may be teachable. Maybe? Sounded good to me!

I have never been married and my Mom was a housewife until I was in high school. She then started working in the cafeteria at school and went on and got a job as a clerk in her brother's store - well after 33 years of marriage my parents divorced. Dad didn't want her being the least independent with her own money. So I'm thinking compromise is good and willing to learn is good. So...still - best of luck to you. Due to their marital problems that has certainly made me gun shy of marriage.

loved your poem HotRod loved it but I fear that kind of thinking is gone now , its more about equality, but you never know what will be in your xmas stocking

Thank You Kathy and EXRED, for your insight, I am fairly much retired now, so situations have changed anyway. I know times are not as they used to be...It was probably more a vision of the past. I am not in a block of concrete.....Haha

YET!

As you just stated time has changed and our potentials physically and emotionally are different. The world around us has changed. But love has not!! So I hope you will find your other half soon. Very realistic your write in your times but we have to catch up. Thanks for sharing. SM

I was once blessed enough to be a stay at home mother of two and a wife. I loved taking care of people . When my children graduated collage my husband passed away . I was then able and honored to be a caregiver to the elderly. There are some of us (old fashion) women still around . I’m sorry for your loss .I know it’s life changing for all of us who have lost a spouse ,or anyone who we loved and cherish in our life time.

Thank You So Much Abby,
I know that their are still some Old Fashioned Women still around...

And Yes it is hard to lose a loved one...All we have left from them are the Memories... At this point we must keeping looking ahead, and maybe, just maybe, we are fortunate enough to find the right one to finish this life out with...As both of us are still young enough to have plenty of good loving to offer....
