Value Of A Man... (And A Woman!) Poem by Eric Cockrell

if i were a woman,
what i would value in a man:

one who listens, is kind,
one who is honest...
one who is sensual, spiritual,
one who questions...
one who is as good at changing a diaper
as plowing a garden...
one who reads extensively...
one who enjoys long walks in the rain,
quiet conversations in a corner booth,
would rather make love by candlelight
than go out on the town...
one who stands firm in his convictions,
but respects all points of view.
one who can cook,
and has no qualms about
letting the dog curl up in the bed...
one who is strong, and weak,
and knows the sameness...
one who is forever passionate!

come to think of it...
being a man,
that's pretty much what i
value in a woman!
