The Male Menopause Poem by Rosi Caswell

The menopause is changing life.

It brings many women enormous strife.

The shifting change of the ground we stand,

Often feels like a different land.

A time for growth you know t'is true.

A golden opportunity, don't be blue.

Go with the flow, accept the change.

Embrace the difference; don't think it strange.

Look at the positive side of the page.

You are slowly growing into a sage.

An older wiser woman you'll be.

It happens to you and it happens to me.

But lets not forget amidst this shift,

That it also happens to men, catch my drift?

They too go through the whirling change,

Upheavals, distress, and things that seem strange.

For this condition, it too has a name.

Not Menopause, Andropause, the effect is the same.

So let us acknowledge men feel in a muddle,

And as well as our own needs

They too need a cuddle.
