Woman
I widened my eyes seeking
differences;I softened my heart
accepting changes;I don't
recognize the hands of a
man;but I can feel the marks of
a woman's; I don't know the
arms of a man;but I know the
warmth of a woman's;I don't
recall a man's voice but my
drums know the rhythm of a
woman's;I never found a man's
footstep but I still follow a
woman's: I'm not a Lady by
choice,but a woman with
actions;its not the make-up that
makes me glitter;but the golden
beauty inner and outer;I am
woman raised,woman
nurtured,woman
brought,woman built! I am a
woman in Christ;a woman
amongst women;I'm not a leaf
that has fallen far from its
tree,but I'm a tree that grew
from a leaf;I'm not a color that
doesn't match;but I'm a color
that stands out; I'm not one in
a million,but I'm a zillion
amongst millions,I'm not a lady
by choice;but I'm a woman with
actions,I m a woman in Christ,I
am a woman amongst women..
