A Good Woman

A friend of mine walked up to me and asked me: "What is a good woman?"

I replied "you would know if you were a good man"

He said "Stop joking I really wanna know"

"There is no definite answer, but when you meet one, it will show"

There are many characteristics that make a good woman, but it would take days to speak them all

Since my friend brought this to mind, I thought I would list a few for y'all

A woman who is proud of what she brings

and won't complain over petty things

A woman who is well spoken and not opposed to listening

because communication is key from the beginning

A woman who is wise and able to realize

the pit you are in doesn't matter because she will help your rise

A woman who wouldn't try to control her man but also wouldn't be a doormat

And when trouble comes up, her feet won't be flat (she's ready to go)

A woman who never stops believing in the man that you are and the man you can become

So much confidence in you, it almost makes her seem dumb

A virtuous woman who prays for you more than she prays for herself

Remembering God is number one above all else

A woman who tries to pay for herself before you can offer

Knowing the difference between selfless and selfish is something you should prefer

A woman with the power of forgiveness

But don't abuse it

Because a good woman is not stupid

She will lose it

You will lose her and have no one to blame when your heart takes the hit

If you hurt a good woman, in my eyes, you aren't worth the saliva I spit

The ice cream no one would lick

The one that gets thrown down in hope ants would leave a picnic

To pick apart your existence

Use your common sense

Realize what's in front of you and cherish it

Woman is the title a female receives at a certain age

But it takes a good man to realize a good woman is on the next page

I'm not saying a good woman needs to have this quote for quote

I don't think any woman does, if so, let me know

I haven't met any besides my family, but I don't go down that road

I'm being patient, waiting for my good woman is giving me time to grow

So I can give her the best Brandon Everett Davis, the world doesn't know

To not be on their level, would be a sin

Let's become better men for these good women
