Change to Change

 

Change to Change

 

Caught up in the midst of a blowing wind

The times should change, a moving trend

By the sweat of a brow, they bread to win

Once said of man, now woman to share

 

To strive to live in this blowing wind

Blown so hard that love grows strange

Women now work, have won their change.

 

The charge to find in her bright mind

A reason to live for herself and find

Her path to clear and line of rhyme

And seek a reward, yes hers, not thine.

 

Sympathy freely may flow from the pen,

Tender words now soften this din

Decisions to make and times now to laugh

The finest hair to discern the truth,

Would be wide so wide that truth to hide.

 

Respect to you now all women who work,

May trials be short and laughter be great

And next in time this great swirling wind

Should blow through this life to bring your reward.

 

Thy daughters slim shall reap thy crops

And glance back at memories cellophane sealed

They work is now all black and white

And decisions to make for all who stand

But now that hair discerning the truth

Still wide, oh so wide, does the truth yet hide?

a poem that takes deep thought to have been written. though the words didnt flow so well in my opinion, the point of this piece was well drawn out to me. but i would have to say that to truly understand this poem, one must be wiser than their years. good job
