Steel Magnolias

Steel magnolias By Michelle Morris 21/03/2023 I am a steel magnolia Don't underestimate my strength I have more backbone than ten men And no time for false pretences I've lived through unimaginable things I've survived and thrived despite it all I refuse to put limitations on myself I will succeed by sheer force of will We are steel magnolias Don't underestimate our strength We are the women who nurture you We are the ones who give life's essence We've lived through unimaginable things We've survived despite it all We refuse to put limitations on ourselves We will succeed by sheer force of will Never underestimate the women Never think that you have us caged No matter the circumstances we are in We remain pure and strong and brave Never forget how powerful we are You are here because of us Humanity's strength is acquired by our sacrifices We are the foundation of hope and faith and love © Michelle Morris, 2023
