Happy Women's Day


A woman is more 
than solely a woman,
She's nobody's 
but her own,
She embraces
 truth in life 
with compassion
 in her soul.

A woman is more 
than solely a woman,
There's ambition 
on her mind,
There is wisdom
 in her words
And foundations
 to be kind.

A woman is more
 than solely a woman,
There is beauty 
in her eyes,
And that beauty 
reflects journeys
Travelled through 
her inner light.

A woman is more
 than solely a woman,
There's a sweetness
 in her smile.
There's the instinct
 of a mother to protect 
each little child.

A woman is more 
than solely a woman,
She is humble, 
She'sincere.
She's a friend, 
she's a great listener,
Seeks adventure 
without fear.

A woman is more
 than solely a woman,
She thinks firstly
 with her heart,
She gives strength
 yet seeks protection,
She needs safe 
 comforting arms.

A woman is more 
than solely a woman,
Her secrets
 held unseen,
Like whispers
 in the quiet night,
Waiting for
 a curious dream.

A woman is more
 than solely a woman,
Sensual, elegant
and graceful like
 a vintage wine glass,
She's a timeless
 vineyard of passion,
A treasure born to last.

A woman is more 
than solely a woman,
She shakes stardust
 from the blues.
She's the lips
 of silent voices,
She's a Hepburn, 
She's a Lucille Ball wearing 
Mary Poppins' shoes.

8th of March-Happy Women's Day

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.

Charmaine, a lovely tribute. As a man, I'm thinking how lucky I am to be in a society where women represent all these positive attributes. I think men can learn a lot from women, and we should respect and honor what you've detailed here. Hopefully, opportunity and equality will only get better and better for all. Your have me smiling!
