You Constantly Change Our Lives

Every day I can't thank you enough

You continue to teach me about happiness so deep and wonderful

I look and open my eyes to all the beauty

You have taught me how to appreciate the small and the magnificient

My mother who gave birth to me

Continued all her life to comfort me whenever I was sick or needed help

She supported my father in so many decisions

That help shape me to who I am today

There are a few good friends who I could talk to as my life began to get more complex

Giving me more insight and understanding

My wife who shows her love constantly

She never stops guiding me in the right direction

Finding a way to make things right when they spiral out of control

There are so many more women who inspire and create

Push the boundaries where men stop

They are from all walks of life

Simple and sweet

Quiet and strong

Some lead and direct

They all are so important

I want them to be appreciated and respected

Every day in a unique way

Words of praise are a small step in the right direction

They have taught us so much more

How to be kind and show simple love

That fill every moment

They make giving an art

It is so much harder than it looks

They teach us how to begin

It comes from within

All you have to do is start

By loving with your heart

Dora Weithers Early in time the role of a woman was in the home. Providing for the family cooking and cleaning while the husband went to work. In many ways, she was the fabric that held the family together. She was always there to talk to or to help. It was easy growing up to forget about her great importance until she was no longer there and then you realized how much she is missed. Thank you, mom. Every day I keep finding more things, my mother helped me with over the years. Even though most of my life I remember her home without her help our loving home would of been just a house. She made it beautiful inside and out. Thank you for reading and sharing. Happy Friday.

Sweet tribute to women of the world who "Push the boundaries where men stop . . . / Simple and sweet / Quiet and strong . . . They all are so important." Beautiful, powerful sentiments.

Brenda Arledge Through history men have done many great things. Women have been struggling their way to the top. Through their family, work and politics. The impact is felt in all areas of life. I think many of the men's accomplishments are attributed to the work of their counterparts. Thank you for reading and sharing. It is always good to give recognition to the people who deserve it. We could just stop at motherhood and that is so incredible in itself. My mother always found time to help not just around the house but anytime we needed her she was there. Later she worked part time when we were older to have extra money for the family. My father always showed great respect for her role as a mom and as a wife. I have many fond memories I will cherish forever. Happy New Year as the sweetest wishes come your way.

John Hansen I do not hesitate to tell my wife how much she continues to help me in my life in so many ways. Then I also tell her there are things I never noticed before that I also appreciate so much. Married for 18 years I am still learning and finding love so deep and precious. From a simple smile that things will be o.k. no matter what we are going through. From a big hug where I don't want to let go. A pleasant kiss that satisfies and teases at the same time. Teamwork makes every day possible. We need to be on the road early and we have to have everything we need for work. We have an hour and a half drive to work. There is no turning back or we would be late for work. Thank you for being the first to read and share my hub. Thank you so much and have a great night.

A wonderful tribute to the women in your life. Right now I am not sure of where I am at but I do know that I have to turn my writing life around by 360 degrees in the new year to become successful. Wishing you and yours a happy, healthy, and successful 2020.

I second every word you said DreamOn. We need to appreciate the women in our lives and the world. Well said.
