A Real Woman
A real woman holds her family strong
Possesses much power under her arms
A real woman lets nothing stand in her path
Dose what she’s told no questions asked
According to tradition…..
I’m not a real woman, are you?
A real woman thinks of everyone else
Puts them all before herself
A real woman place is in the kitchen
Never talks but always listens
According to tradition…..
I’m not a real woman, are you?
A real woman has no dreams
Her dreams are reality
A real woman tends to her family’s needs
But can never be free
According to tradition…..
I’m not a real woman.....nor will i ever be!!
A real woman must tend to her husband
No matter how un-loving
A real woman holds her pain inside her
Even when pain sits right besides her
According to tradition…..
I’m not a real woman…..nor will I ever be!!!
