Sometimes within a house of men <br />your feelings stay inside. <br />They are not comfortable at times <br />with sharing. So you bide <br />your time until you're with a friend <br />who knows each pain and scar, <br />who doesn't hold it all inside, <br />who knows just who you are. <br />And then one day somebody new <br />seeks to join this clan. <br />Another woman, and maybe one <br />who'll trust and care and plan. <br />Oh wouldn't it be wonderful <br />if fate with you would send <br />someone who'd like to share and feel, <br />someone to be a friend.<br /><br />Beatrice Dahlen<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/to-my-daughter-in-law/
