The Woman

Dear friend who faithfully reads my soulpunctures.

I'm pleased to share my poem, "The Woman" with you.

I dedicate this poem to every woman with joy and fulfillment.

Women reflect the beauty of humanity, and as a key part of the creation story, their presence must be respected and celebrated every day.

I would love to hear your thoughts on the poem and if you would dare to write similar lines to the woman in your heart, your mother, your wife, your friend, your sister, your daughter, or to that woman that you once saw for just one second and remains unforgettable in your heart, and if so, what does make a woman unforgettable, for you?

The Woman

A poem by Sal Godoij

When God created man

He did it with a purpose

But His purpose wasn't clear

So, He did it in parts

Part by part, organ by organ, member by member

God made man

But then there was a missing part

What was it?

Was it a brain?

Was it a heart?

And then, like a giant light bulb

The entire Earth illuminated

A woman! God screamed

As many years later

Someone else would scream Eureka!

I had found it!

And to God's scream

A rumbling shook the Earth

It was the echo of a thunderous applause

From the universe

A woman! A choir of angels sang. A woman!

That's right, because without a woman

Man would have never been able to be a complete man

Without a woman

Man would have never been able to reach Heaven

And thus, God pictured man and woman

Arm in arm, kneeling at His altar

And so

His purpose of Creation was now clear

God made the woman

And Paradise bloomed!
