They talk about a woman’s sphere as though it had a limit;
There’s not a place in earth or heaven,
There’s not a task to mankind given,
There’s not a blessing or a woe,
There’s not a whispered ‘yes’ or ‘no’,
There’s not a life ,or death, or birth,
That has a feather’s weight of worth
Without a woman in it.
Above all , remember the most important thing you can take anywhere is not the Gucci handbag or the French cut jeans; its an open mind…………………..Gail Ruben Bereny
