STAGES OF A WOMENS LIFE
(Not intended to offend men)
 
At the start
We cry for love
A cuddle and feed
Unable to tell of what we need
We look to our parents to develop our needs
Helping us learn to walk and to talk.
 
 
Childhood from 5-10
Infant school teachers teaching us
Wise thing,
We play and have fun
Because we are innocent ones,
Play chase the Boys this is fun.
 
Then our bodies start to change
11- 16 a frustrating age,
Puberty kicks in and our bodies start to change
We think we know but really we don’t
Arguments with parents grow,
School and boys go hand in hand
Maybe a first kiss, or our first date,
Make up and hair we take more care
Muddled emotions we try to cope.
 
Then hardest of times 16 – 21
We educate our minds in college or university,
Or venture to the world and our first job,
Love comes along we learn of pain,
Heartache and joy we make mistakes,
Celebrate Birthdays make many friends
Our minds maturing from mistakes we make,
Boys are more enduring, Sex is there game,
We fall and stumble our virginity lost
We learn quick through hurt.
 
Life turns a corner at 21 – 40
This is where life is hard marriage and children
Divorces to Life’s struggles of fortune and pain,
Money talks we learn this pain,
Men do not understand the women’s mind,
Try to dominate sometimes there so unkind.
We raise our children with our Parents in mind,
Try not to repeat there wrongs we learn,
We multi task being a wife and a mother, work and run the home,
Men go astray in the blink of an eye,
Feeling of love start to slip by,
 
 
Then hey before you know,
You’re on your way to 50 – 60,
Children grown leave the nest,
Some of us single, or widowed GOD BLESS,
We have learnt so much as the years go by
We reflect on the good, and cry of the sorrow,
Grand children come along, nice to give back,
We have reached the top of our profession,
Single or married, we reap the rewards,
At this time of life, holidays are heaven,
But Oh! What a struggle a WOMENS LIFE!!

Anna nice to have a little me time i am with you between 50-60 sometimes when i reflect its frightening still thats life....happy days smile have fun Juliet

Okay... THIS IS NOT INTENEDED TO OFFEND WOMEN! would you like to know the struggles of growing from boyhood to manhood?? You know, like having to be the one to ask for the date or the dance and getting rejected... paying for dates and dinner and drinks and often not a chance at a second date... and so forth!!!! hehe LOL!!
Maybe I should write a poem about this!!! LOL!!

A nice little read, Juliet. Very enjoyable and I'm only having fun with my response. We all could learn so much from each other... it's tough growing up at any stage of life and at any age!! Cheers.....Jerry

Hi Auntie ..I always thought life begins at 40 .In 3and a half years it's time for me to grow up (he laughed)from a mans point of view o-40 is the experimental stage, playtime .40 plus is when I get to put it all into practice .Apparently I am going to live to 103 so I am in No rush (We have good age genes in our family)I look forward to the future ..tellingmy great grandchildren of times past, when mojo's and black jacks cost half a pence for 2.
The womens mind, um, Does it go something like .They always want to look older, when they finally do, they moan and say, Now I want to look younger.at least a mans desire is simple. Beer Sex apart Beer sex together Beer sex with sports Beer sex with more beer.Throw In the occasional crossword.oh and a car thats engines matches the sound of our arse and were in heaven.Now why can't a womens life be as simple.
love and light
P.s. I really wish it was that simple for a man lol I have problems with sports,Can't stand it. haven't drank alcohol since new years .I hate cars and crosswords. And sex, well I could definitely do with a lot more of that.

Hi Dreagonfly...i could not agree more with you i would not go back either......Take care Juliet

I have had a strange life compared to the major population and find myself jumping from one stage, than a backwards cartwheel to another stage, then 2 flips forward to another stage. Grrrrr. You've summed it all up though and done so quite poetically.
