A Great Woman Poem by Terence George Craddock (Spectral Images and Images Of Light)

A Great Woman

Rating: 4.9


It is said “Behind
every great man.
There must definitely
be, a great woman.”

Does this proverbial saying,
explain definitively?
Adequately, why
there are so few great men?


Such an indictment.
Answering this accusation.
Is indicative in identifying.
The shallow minded.

An acquittal is adjourning.
Critics are hamstrung.
Such are not examples of.
Dream weavers with visionary.

Transcended minds.
Rather it proves.
Rather conclusively.
The fundamentally obvious.

Men and Women both.
Are made from common clay.
But how wonderfully made.
Each in their own individually.

Just a splendid read in regard to woman's role in the man's life. Like saying all men are created equal, but are we. Amazing philosophy and a good read. Your friend Lynn

The statement implied seems to be that the strength of society is, the marriage and unity of common men and women together, the family unit as the building block of society. Men and Women both. Are made from common clay. But how wonderfully made. Each in their own individually. Therefore together their wonderful individuality is the unique foundation of society and both are needed in cooperation to make a great society.
