MENSES THE PAIN OF WOMANHOOD


Oh! you menses the pain of womanhood
In you lies the happiness of a life time
On and on your burden is borne like a heavy wood
Do you speak of a woman in her prime?

You come and go like a friendly friend to some
To others you sting like a pregnant bee
No woman dares envisage the day you would come
If I was your creator would I let you be?

Your absence causes a terrible worry
With your presence comes a severe pain
You tarry along attracting plenty sorry
But without you what do I stand to gain?

To aged women, keeping you will do them good
To young girls, discarding you is their belief
Oh! you menses the pain of womanhood
Is your pause a mischief or a relief?
