Ms Independent 101

She’s more than a soldier…
Fighting her way through battle,
Defending her comrades from the fiery blasts of the enemy…

She’s Ms. Independent 101.

She stands by herself for herself.
A man by her side does not make her any less strong.
She creates and maintains her character, 
Her allure, her grace…
Her rightful place as ‘Queen.’

She’s Ms. Independent 101.

She takes on everything in front of her.
She marches to victory,
And she takes her love ones with her every step of the way.
She’s more than a woman, 
With curves, valleys, and hills for a man to explore…
She knows she is a rare, priceless jewel that is to be sought,
And treated with respect…

She is a Star…
She is a Diva…
She is a Goddess…

She’s Ms. Independent 101.

She gets an A+ in "Independent 101," Monique. This is today's woman described in detail with her multiple attributes. She is a leader, a strong individual who "marches to victory" and takes the world in stride. Great write! Best wishes, Carolyn
