Dancing Like a Queen

Dancing like a Queen; facing life 
like a king; taking beatings, 
challenges, obstacles; But 
dancing like a Queen. Living in a 
dream so fast; flying like leaf 
leaving your past; dancing like 
Queen; looking straight foward; 
looking beyond the struggles 
and failures; carrying your cross 
like a trusted soldier; 
overcoming battles leaving 
legacies; but dancing like 
Queen. Like a giraffee your 
head held so high; walking 
through dark paths, searching in 
tall bushes; taking every chance 
of hapiness; but dancing like 
queen. Mountains so high you 
climb; taking over your world, 
your ways paved; dreams 
fulfilled, goals achieved; 
enjoying life in the young nation 
and dancing like a Queen.
Crowned with grace, honoured 
with praise; living in Christ and 
forever dancing like a Queen.

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..
