Analysis of It Was

Luis A Estable 1958 (Oriente, Cuba)



It was with love and care, indeed,
That God did make the woman-soul.
And when he saw such gorgeous form,
He was so glad He played a role.

That's why her voice delightful sound
And her behold such tender look.
Oh, pretty hands and pretty feet!
Her fingers made for sparkling rings.

So, here to you, you prettiest rose.
I'm only man to follow God.
If he designed your body thus,
To appreciate it is my job.
