Prize
by Rochell Jamison "Ice"
No prize or loss
Is greater than the woman you love
Except maybe the prize or loss
Of the woman who loves you.
No possession is greater
Than the possession of a woman’s love
To possess the love
Of a strong, worldly woman
Is without question
The greatest gift to mankind.
Not all are worthy of such a possession
To make (oneself) worthy of such a love
One must be willing
To sacrifice, compromise and listen…
For those who possess this special gift
A woman’s love
They are the chosen ones.
Deceit and dishonorable traits
Are what will chase that love away…
With one disloyal act!
Women’s hearts are delicate
And need to be pampered, cherished and adored
Not one day, but everyday!
To lose the possession of
A woman’s love…
Is to lose part of oneself.
Remember,
A strong woman will not allow
Herself to be treated any less
Than is her due;
And a strong man, a real man
Should not want to diminish
The value of a woman’s love.
Real men, strong men
Are just as valuable
To a woman;
So men,
Win the prize
By being the prize!
