Beauty of a Wife by Godswill Odeku

To unravel a woman’s beauty
Is ever a man’s duty;
To give her good comfort,
At all times be her support,
Bearing her as one would a child;

To provide funds for finery,
And find food for family;
To create joy and cheer
And drive away fear:
Men should seldom deem a burden.

Strength to soak her stress,
Grace to so impress
Her by every means possible,
Standing strong against the terrible
Would sure unearth her good graces.

To know when is best
To sing, sigh or rest;
Her sweetest desires know
Before she ever says so,
Her sweet smiles always will discover.

Not much to make a girl a queen,
Just some soft touches here and there;
Bring a pillow when her head sags;
Please bring, on your way home, some bags
Of goodie goodies for her.

Never fail to bless her ears,
Never fail to wipe her tears,
Never cease to sing her praise,
Always try to raise her face
before all, and
Remember to make her your queen.
