Feminine Empowerment

Doc wrote new RX
Persistent merciless acne
Shoo fly, go away!!
Now the birds can bathe
Behind the privacy of a Flutterby bush.
Our yard…
Charming,
Delightful,
Picture perfect!!
Had an in depth convo with Shurl’s Momma today.
Topic was related to a recent Oprah show.
“Marriage is the biggest lie.”
Women sacrificing themselves
For the sake of their spouse,
Children,
Careers,
Marriage…
They forfeit their identity.
Like a mechanical convenience
They exist
To please and nurture everyone else.
Until that day
Their reflection flags their attention.
A stranger in the mirror,
A ghost of who they once were,
A shell long forgotten.
Panic assaults them,
Identity forgotten.
More determined than ever,
A new mission is declared.
The ungrateful,
Left to fend for themselves.
When she finds
The woman she is meant to be,
She finds her peace from within.
Wrongs becomes righted.
Nothing is taken for granted.
And respect is redeemed.
How privileged am I,
To not know of that issue.
I found my Bella
And found myself.
We make sure to never, ever
Be ungrateful,
Take each other,
Or our relationship,
For granted.
Respect is always first and foremost.

This One's For The Girls Lyrics

This one's for all you girls about thirteen
High school canbe so rough, can be so mean
Hold onto, on to your innocence
Stand your ground when everyone's giving in

This one's for the girls

This is for all you girls about twenty-five
In a little apartment, just trying to get by
Living on, on dreams and spaghetti-o's
Wondering where you life is gonna go

This one's for the girls
Who've ever had a broken heart
Who've wished upon a shooting star
You're beautiful the way you are
This one's for the girls
Who love without holding back
Who dream with everything they have
All around the world
This one's for the girls

This is for all you girls about forty-two
Tossing pennies into the Fountain of Youth
Every laugh, laugh line on your face
Made you who you are today

This one's for the girls
Who've ever had a broken heart
Who've wished upon a shooting star
You're beautiful the way you are
This one's for the girls
Who love without holding back
Who dream with everything they have
All around the world
This one's for the girls

Yeah, we're all the same inside (same inside)
From 1 to 99

This one's for the girls
Who've ever had a broken heart
Who've wished upon a shooting star
You're beautiful the way you are
This one's for the girls
Who love without holding back
Who dream with everything they have
All around the world
This one's for the girls
Yeah, this one's for the girls

When God Fearin' Women Get The Blues Lyrics

Lock up your husbands
Lock up your sons
Lock up your whiskey cabinets
Girls lock up your guns
Lock up the beauty shop
No tellin' if they've heard the news
Call the boys downtown at Neiman Marcus
Tell 'em lock up them high heel shoes

When God-fearin' women get the blues
There ain't no slap-dab-a-tellin'
What they're gonna do
Run around yellin'
I've got a Mustang
It'll do 80
You don't have to be my baby
I've stirred my last batch of gravy
You don't have to be my baby

Call all the deacons
Call the Ladies Aid
Call all the altos, sopranos, tenors
Call every bass
Well call all the Pentacostals
Bring that anointing oil too
Well call the preacher
He's the only one can reach her
And their ain't no time to lose

When God-fearin' women get the blues
There ain't no slap-dab-a-tellin'
What they're gonna do
Run around yellin'
I've got a Mustang
It'll do 80
You don't have to be my baby
I've stirred my last batch of gravy
You don't have to be my baby

She's on all our prayer lists
She's on all our hearts
As for the Easter cantata
We don't know who'll sing her part

When God-fearin' women get the blues
There ain't no slap-dab-a-tellin'
What they're gonna do
Run around yellin'
I've got a Mustang
It'll do 80
You don't have to be my baby
I've stirred my last batch of gravy
You don't have to be my baby
