We Hear-We Care Poem by louis rams

some times women think that a man does'nt hear or care.
what a woman or child is going through.
i'll tell you this-'thats not true'
man can feel the inner most need
once they plant their fertile seed.

they see the pain etched on their face-
and the sweat on their brow.
this is when they ask 'how'.
how can the women take the pain?
and yet still be the same.

they say' the meak shall inherit the earth'.
it is the woman-when she gives birth.

to all the women -i can say.
we do hear and care what you're going thru.
we just don't know 'what to do'.
