A Mind Of Her Own

From the time the world began, it’s been a puzzlement to man
to understand why a woman thinks the way she does.
A wild thought comes from who knows whence
lacking reasoning and common sense
still, she’s in motion to amend that whatever was.
And before she might begin, I’d politely offer to step in,
to be of help as she approaches that unknown,
but truth is, though I’m her friend
she needs to do things her way in the end
because the woman’s got a mind of her own.

I don’t try to play the role of the one who needs control
over everything that goes on in that world of hers,
but at times I think it best
that I might tenderly suggest
to have her stop and think before something bad occurs.
And she might stop, straightaway, like she’s considering what I say
to have some relevance and truth that we might atone,
and yet most times she does not stray
from doing things her own way,
hey, the woman’s got a mind of her own.

Although I may not understand all or part of what she’s planned
I know her good intentions from what is or is not shown,
when she doesn’t need me as a guide
I gotta be ready to step aside
knowing that the woman’s got a mind of her own.

As she gets herself entwined with inherent plans she’s designed
I try to figure out what she might be thinking of.
And with a hope and a prayer
I see her flittering here and there
to make the difference that she administers with love.
And even though she drifts some days I’ve kind a gotten used to her ways,
of her doing things together or alone.
So most times I can only suggest
and hope that providence will do the rest
knowing that the woman’s got a mind of her own.

Though she exudes concern and strife
I thank God she’s in my life,
and that the woman’s got a mind of her own.
