A Woman

Every little girl will one day grow up to be a woman, However age does not make a little girl a women. Because not all women know how to be a woman. A woman knows her sacrifices, and most of all herself worth. She knows she holds the want, and need of every man. She knows what that man would do to gain what she has. A woman doesn't give her all with ease, she knows her costs. She's the protector, the provider of her children, and anyone else under her wing. The care taker, she stands strong long after he leaves. Struggle heart ache, unbarring pain. A woman stands strong through all her battles, she knows her tears doesn't make her weak, but add to her strength. A woman knows you only place your hands on her with the gentlest touch, she knows she is not there for you to torture, mistreat, or abuse. A woman knows is not your woman, but her own woman allowing you the privilege to be with her. She also know how to take that privilege away, she knows, and demands her respect. She respects herself. A woman knows she is not to be mistreated, never willing led a stray. She also knows that if you don't have anything to add to her life your no good her. She not going allow you to take away. A woman knows the preciousness of her body, she not going to allow you to devour her temple without charge. She knows the difference between selling your body , and getting what you need. A woman knows not only her age makes her a woman. Only a true woman knows how to be a woman.
