A Mirror of Me

Darkness only prevails for a while But light eventually prevails forever The revenge of an embittered woman Is more than the fury of a thousand army. There are women of substance And there are women of superlative substance In size we grow In wisdom we surpass He who can fly Needs not flying whiskers For a short while alone Does iniquity reign I am my husband’s pillar A shelter for my children An envy of all Nation A symbol of creation An endurer of pain The patient dog in human form A mortal among immortals A vision beyond the present I am a virtuous woman A heiress A leader A great instrument A completion of creations Mighty in my own way
