I'M An African Woman

I'm a woman 
                   Yes, an African woman 
                   Who knows her wants 
                   And respects her deeds 

                   I'm taught to respect 
                   But I also deserve respect 
                   To maintain my essence 
                   And be the best me 

                   I'm a reason 
                   For multiplication 
                   No woman 
                   No generation 
          
                  I make meals
                 To make it real 
                  If they think it's a deal
                  Then I do have a choice 

                  I'm born and will reborn 
                  It's a beautiful thing 
                  It's not  just a story
                  Its my glory 
           
                 Call me a woman 
                 An adorable woman
                An African adorable woman 
                A super African adorable woman!

Wow! What a wonderfully powerful poem that says so, so very much about women - and the pride each and every one of you should feel in what you are… brilliant.
