Are there many shy women?
Like someone who might call it a night too quickly
Not because she wants to leave
But for a little persuasion to stay back
For an affirmation of how much
The other person wants to be with her…
Do you fathom her negative response ‘no’
A reedy appendix holding forth
A gust of feelings she needs urging
To share?
Draw her out subtly kindly
Her smiles, her love, her regard;
Make a mother memory that could give birth
To eternity.
