A Woman's Touch, A Woman's Tear

A poem about the blessings and maledictions that can be recieved from a woman.

More powerful than sword or spear
A woman's touch, a woman's tear

Though swords can break a soldier down
A touch could turn his life around

A spear determines his last day
A tear can make him leave or stay

Though powerful, in their own right
A sword and spear cannot change lives

They only steal the right to live
But happiness, a touch can give

A tear will tell the things to do
And both can make, an old man, new

The things that bring out love from fear
A woman's touch, a woman's tear
