THE PROSE & THE POETRY ‪#‎FoundPoetry‬

...As Found by Poetic Tee, "Here, take a sip"

First, we present...

THE PROSE:

Subject: SELF WORTH

(Very Deep!!!) In a brief conversation, a man asked a woman he was pursuing the question: 'What kind of man are you looking for?'
She sat quietly for a moment before looking him in the eye & asking, 'Do you really want to know?' Reluctantly, he said, 'Yes. She began to expound, 'As a woman in this day & age, I am in a position to ask a man what can you do for me that I can't do for myself? I pay my own bills. I take care of my household without the help of any man... or woman for that matter. I am in the position to ask, 'What can you bring to the table?' The man looked at her. Clearly he thought that she was referring to money. She quickly corrected his thought & stated, 'I am not referring to money.
I need something more. I need a man who is striving for excellence in every aspect of life. He sat back in his chair, folded his arms, & asked her to explain. She said, 'I need someone who is striving for excellence mentally because I need conversation & mental stimulation. I don't need a simple-minded man. I need someone who is striving for excellence spiritually because I don't need to be unequally yoked...believers mixed with unbelievers is a recipe for disaster. I need a man who is striving for excellence financially because I don't need a financial burden. I need someone who is sensitive enough to understand what I go through as a woman, but strong enough to keep me grounded. I need someone who has integrity in dealing with relationships. Lies and game-playing are not my idea of a strong man. I need a man who is family-oriented. One who can be the leader, priest and provider to the lives entrusted to him by God. I need someone whom I can respect. In order to be submissive, I must respect him. I cannot be submissive to a man who isn't taking care of his business. I have no problem being submissive...he just has to be worthy. And by the way, I am not looking for him...He will find me. He will recognize himself in me. Hey may not be able to explain the connection, but he will always be drawn to me. God made woman to be a help-mate for man. I can't help a man if he can't help himself. When she finished her spill, she looked at him. He sat there with a puzzled look on his face. He said, 'You are asking a lot. She replied, "I'm worth a lot". Send this to every woman who's worth a lot.... and every man who has the brains to understand!! ***

And now...

THE POETRY:

A WOMAN'S SELF WORTH

"What kind of a man
are you looking for?"
'Do you really want to know?'
"Yes."

'As a woman in this day & age
I am in a position to ask a man
what can you do for me
I can't do for myself?

I pay my own bills.
I take care of my household
without help of any man
or woman for that matter.

I am in the position to ask,
"What can you bring to the table?"
I am not referring to money.
I need something more.

I need a man
who is striving for excellence
in every aspect of life.
Who breaths, purpose.*

I need someone
who is striving for excellence
mentally, because I need
conversation & mental stimulation.

I need someone
who is striving for excellence
spiritually, because I don't need
to be unequally yoked.

Believers
mixed with unbelievers
is a recipe for
pure* disaster.

I need a man
who is striving for excellence
financially, because I don't need
a financial burden.

I need someone
who is sensitive enough
to understand what I go through
as a woman.

I don't need
a simple-minded man.
but someone strong enough
to keep me grounded.

I need someone
who has integrity
in dealing with relationships.
mine feeding on his, his on mine.*

I need a man
who is family-oriented.
Lies and game-playing
not my idea of a strong man.

One who can be the leader,
priest and provider
to the lives
entrusted to him by God.

I need someone
whom I can respect.
In order to be submissive,
I must respect him.

I cannot be submissive
to a man
who isn't taking care
of his business.

I have no problem
being submissive...
he just has to be worthy.
Once he is, I'm "Submission."*

And by the way,
I am not looking for him...
He will find me.
He will recognize himself, in me.

He may not be able
to explain the connection,
but he will always be drawn
to me.

God made woman
to be a help-mate for man.
I can't help a man
if he can't help himself.

When she finished her spill,
He said, 'You are asking a lot."
She replied, "I'm worth a lot
And He is worthy of me"*
