The genius of a woman

poem, women / May 5, 2019

Baby you are the best, you are the very best;
I wonder how you know all this construction stuff;
You really are a genius, the others are just caretakers;

Honey you are very intelligent, why don’t they listen to you?
You were born to code the perfect and intelligent software;
Your fellows will perish if they don’t take note of your words.

Darling you are handsome, like really cute;
You are slim, light skinned and strong;
You are an embodiment of manly perfection;

Sweetheart you are the man, a real African man;
You got a big potbelly like a real (odi) boss;
Forget the slay boys, you are the true African gentleman;

You got a good heart my husband, an honest conductor;
You treat passengers with respect, and never short charge them;
The driver is the one who mistreats the passengers.

You are a genius driver my man;
You know all the road rules and follow them to dot;
Your calling is to save animal lives by ambulancing them.

You are a business guru my love;
While the others are in business, business is in you;
You carry a true entrepreneurial revolution;

God resides in you my husband, a legendary pastor;
Everyone else is a sinner, and you are our shepherd;
You got a spiritual calling, not like other fake pastors.

Baby you are a very professional accountant;
You do maths like it’s no brainer;
Your employer needs to salute you for single-handedly keeping the company afloat.

Honey you are a scientist from another planet;
You know stuff that we have not discovered;
You are Albert Einstein incarnate.

Beb you’re so wise, and charming, and fun;
You make a woman feel important and loved;
I know you will have money and be rich one day;

Swits you a hustler, a real genius hustler;
You take care of our bills by betting;
I know you will one day hit the jackpot;

You are the greatest doctor in Africa currently;
You treat even diseases you don’t understand;
It’s like God works inside you and through you;

Darling you are the most powerful man;
You battled your opponents and won the election.
If they say you rigged, why didn’t they?

Glass of Milk

One day, a poor boy who was selling goods from door to door to pay his way through school, found he had only one thin dime left, and he was hungry. He decided he would ask for a meal at the next house. However, he lost his nerve when a lovely young woman opened the door.Instead of a meal he asked for a drink of water. She thought he looked hungry so brought him a large glass of milk. He drank it so slowly, and then asked, How much do I owe you?”You don’t owe me anything,” she replied. “Mother has taught us never to accept pay for a kindness.”He said … “Then I thank you from my heart.”As Howard Kelly left that house, he not only felt stronger physically, but his faith in God and man was strong also. He had been ready to give up and quit.Many year’s later that same young woman became critically ill. The local doctors were baffled. They finally sent her to the big city, where they called in specialists to study her rare disease.Dr. Howard Kelly was called in for the consultation. When he heard the name of the town she came from, a strange light filled his eyes.Immediately he rose and went down the hall of the hospital to her room.Dressed in his doctor’s gown he went in to see her. He recognized her at once.He went back to the consultation room determined to do his best to save her life. From that day he gave special attention to her case.After a long struggle, the battle was won.

Dr. Kelly requested the business office to pass the final bill to him for approval. He looked at it, then wrote something on the edge and the bill was sent to her room. She feared to open it, for she was sure it would take the rest of her life to pay for it all. Finally she looked, and something caught her attention on the side of the bill. She read these words …

“Paid in full with one glass of milk”

(Signed) Dr. Howard Kelly.

Tears of joy flooded her eyes as her happy heart prayed: “Thank You, God, that Your love has spread broad through human hearts and hands.”
