I Am Woman

I am comical with the nature of being fickle I am delicate and dainty, my spine sometimes jells My bravado wobbles and wibbles Life being me sometimes tickle I have the strength, depth and vitality of a w-o-m-a-n Sometimes I am frail under a love spell Still I am mightier than a locomotive More fierce than a raging bull Yet, I am sweet as sugar and dignified beautiful Emphasis on the ferociousness of my being That dead stills your heart and expedites your breathing I am a sea shell ashore with great meaning I am vulnerable and vernacular Versatile and spectacular Peace is my avatar I am woman My swagger thrust me to soar My magnificence out pours I am w-o-m-a-n Hear me roar

“Oh my, Paloma P, what a compliment! I had a brain freeze about who Helen Reddy was, but Good Golly Miss Molly, she was definitely an inspiration with her Grammy-winning ‘I Am Woman.’”
