Women’s Day

March 8, 2016 ~ Vincent Mars

Dear woman reader of my blog,

Wherever you are, whatever you do,

The world rests upon your gentle shoulders

And spins under your busy feet;

Please take care of yourself,

And forgive us boys when we misbehave,

For if it were not for you we would surely go extinct;

And please accept this little flower

Which tries to rival you in grace,

But beautifully fails…

Beautiful words, Vincent, and so elegant, although it must be noted that not all boys who misbehave can be forgiven. I suppose that goes both ways, though.

  I mean innocent boys who misbehave out of fear and weakness and try to remedy things after. 🙂
