I AM A WOMAN

I am a woman

My beauty is not defined by my braided hair and earrings

Instead my beauty runs deeper than that

 I am defined by my inner-self

The unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit

Soft but yet so strong

Intense and very powerful

I am a woman

 

Watch me bringing about life into this world

Watch me protecting and comforting with these hands of mine

Watch me easing the pain with my tender smile

I am a woman


You strike a woman you strike a rock

I’m considered as the one who holds the knife’s sharp edge

Who can do that? Only a woman!

I am a woman, not just a woman but

A Goddess
