What Do You See? Poem by Qwanza Bentinck

What Do You See?

Rating: 5.0


When he looks at me,
He sees a girl who just want some attention,
One whom he can call upon when he feels like
And she will come running like a fool.
Yes, a fool desperate and thirsty for love.

When you look at me,
You see someone you want to spend
The rest of your life with;
Wife and mother of your children.
One whom you will love and care for with all your might.
The one you expect to return the same love to you.

When I look at myself,
I see a woman who desires so much more.
A woman who is destined for greater things.
A woman who will be the wife and mother God wants her to be.
A woman of great significance and loyalty.
A woman who was made out of love!

What do you see?
