The fairer sex
The life. The strife. The wailing and the moan.
Whatever you think you’ve done right will always have been done wrong!
You may try to please, you may try to crack a smile.
But years, decades will go by and nothing will ever fully align!
They will confess to being happy even though that is to them a joy mixed with a pain!
You dare to look them in the eyes, you dare to ask them to explain!
Please accept that their emotions can’t be understood by mere, lowly, humble man alone.
Like playing with fire and ice both will cause a burn!
Your love and respect for your wife must always live protected deep inside.
Because to understand the other sex is the spaghetti pile of paths through a way you will never, ever find!
