Shadow of a Man
Poem by Vizion Jones, (c)1990

When God made man and the heaven and earth was his
Man –still– was unhappy and the reason for that is;
There is a “force” which drives a man during every stage of his life
And this force normally comes through: Mother, Girlfriend, or wife.

Yes, behind every good man there is a woman who believed in him
One who stood up for him –right, or wrong–through every thing he’s been.

Even when his world was closing in; when he shed his tears
She stood faithfully by his side and showed she really cares.
This is one of the main reasons men fight for power and fame
But, never will they be satisfied even after all they’ve gained.

They’ll buy silk-suits, sports-cars, too
And they’ll do all kinds of mess
Only because they’re trying so hard
For a woman to be impressed.

A good woman won’t notice these things, nor care about your wealth
It is okay to have the niceties in life, but better to have your health!
Even if she actually loves you, you’ll probably never know
Until all that you have has been lost and she, still, stays right with you.

Don’t get me wrong, there are things you’ll need
Please, try to understand;
But, never forget, behind every good man
There has to be a super woman.
