I have read this wonderful poem quite a few times. This time I would focus on your lines, ‘Piecing together these different roles /et me, into a close knit texture, weave/The fabric of my life Like the interlacing threads/Of a great tapestry! I appreciate your humble wish expressed in these lines! A poem to be read time and again dear madam! A great poem!
Receiving few drops of love and peace from ocean of love we are definitely enlightened. God has granted us greatest freedom to feel his creation. God has given us great responsibility. This poem is excellently penned with brilliant theme. Reading this again I feel glad.
If women would adhere to the wonderful roles as embodied in stanzas 2,3 and 4, what a beautiful and peaceful community and family we all have. An insightful and inspiring poem. So beautifully written.
An encompassing write on a true woman. An excellent poem that captures the wonderful attributes of a true woman: as a good citizen of the community, a beloved mother and a great spouse.
Being a truthful person in life is nice. Having victory we can feel beauty of living. An ocean of love we can feel definitely. Bringing out unique patterns of delighting mood we can rejoice life's destination. A brilliant poem is excellently penned.
True beauty lies in ones temperament, attitude and what we call character! If we look at the lean and thin figure of Nelson Mandela, we may not call him handsome! But the virtues, character, the concept that matters! It’s lovely poem! Loved reading it….10
Let me be/As God intended me to be/Neither a wicked elf/Nor a fairy godmother/Never a demon/Nor an angel/But a true woman….You have expressed your honest desire to be a worthy adorable woman! I would skip Maya Angelou’s lines because you don’t desire to be like that! (cont)
For your children you are ever adorable mother and you want to be adorable mother forever for them. A counsellor, a friend and guide you are and you delight them. Bringing out unique patterns is your nice art. Very touching poem is well crafted and shared.10

Why at night on a tree Is it not to pry? Then likely to be stung by a bee And when you cry People will see Bri And roast you to fry! (Tit for tat! ...... Thanks for the comment, for reading it all over again and sending it to your poem list!)

Lovely wishes of a noble woman to cherish each and every moment of her life while fullfilling the responsibilities of different facets of life! Lonesome read dear Valsa mam
valsa, perhaps in another life? and who are bill engvall and simon pegg? i thought i was the only comedian in the world worth knowing. was i wrong? :) bri
Thank you Bri! This is the best proposal, I ever received. Marrying a comedian like Bill Engvall or Simon Pegg (though one or two inches smaller than their size) would be fun. We could have laughed away life together! But unfortunately it is too late! !
Though at times touchy and itchy....did you leave the b off the last word on purpose? if you are half as good as you strive to be, ....will you marry me? :)
Valsa your words speak so wonderfully about the wishes of a woman. Not great but humble, lowly not lofty, servant not master, uplifting not condescending. You are apparently all of these and more. Keep writing in uor own and beautiful way. Words written from the heart will never depart. Good.
I'm sure you've succeeded 'in large part', my dear departed-from-PH friend. bri : ) You are missed. : (
