The Woman I Know
… this is Virgie
(For Virgie
Paragas-Adonis)
By Apolinario B Villalobos
With boundless desire
to accomplish many things
that others think are impossible,
the
woman I know
through
impeding hurdles
would
just simply breeze through.
Her
mother’s strength and loving ways
tempered
by her father’s intelligence
and
innate golden values -
her
overpowering person shows.
A woman
of fiery temper
and a
heart brimming with affection,
the
woman I know
always
fights for the righteousness
not much
for her own
but for
others who, though abused
can’t
fight back
as guts
and persistence
are what
they lack.
She is
the woman I know,
who, on
some occasion
could be
furious or let out tears
in a
candid show of emotion.
She
oozes with intelligence
that she
would unselfishly share
just
like the comfort
of her
tender motherly care.
Could
there be other women
just
like this one I know?
