“Lady, lady, never startConversation toward your heart;Keep your pretty words serene;Never murmur what you mean.Show yourself, by word and look,Swift and shallow as a brook.Be as cool and quick to goAs a drop of April snow;Be as delicate and gayAs a cherry flower in May.Lady, lady, never speakOf the tears that burn your cheek-She will never win him, whoseWords had shown she feared to lose.Be you wise and never sad,You will get your lovely lad.Never serious be, nor true,And your wish will come to you-And if that makes you happy, kid,You'll be the first it ever did.”

Dorothy Parker

“As beautiful as you are my lady,You sick answers to why love is never by your sideYour heart wonders around trying to find your ideal loveBut yet nothing is completing your need. You’re a women of strength and resemble power within,Filled with joy on your angelic face, yet no good man appreciates itA laughter that one can capture for a lifetime, too bad that all the men you seem to meet erase it allYou display Emotions that one can wish to dwell in and feel the energy you hold within. Take a stand my lady, no rose ever dies without growing back again,You need no tears to fall for a man who sees less in you You need no sad feeling to crush that happy self, he’ll never be worth the joy in youShow him no sad emotions, you’re too strong to give in now. As a flower you bloomed gracefully and a beautiful lady rose up from that seed the Lord God plantedAs a pillar you balanced yourself against all negative forces of life and that was your strengthAs an ocean you cried your tears out but that never hindered the ocean from being full againAs a beautiful picture frame you lit up the room and no soul will ever take that away from you. Let yourself love you, is the greatest love one can ever behold, I’m done seeing you cry!!!”
