Strong Woman Letting Go

Since the dawn of time a woman was been given a task She was destined by her man to do all that he would ask Have his children, cook his meals, be seen in a pretty dress Have a cheerful demeaner, no matter how bad the mess… But times changed with the coming of women’s equality She was no longer a slave sitting at her partners knee She was given inner strength, then she raised her mighty voice “You cannot hold me down, for now you see I have a choice” Relationships shifted, they’re no longer a one-way street But burning bras, and taking control was not always a treat You see, I like the differences between woman and man I’ll keep my bra, I’ll clean the mess, I’ll do all that I can! And when the problems get too much, and stifle every goal Some ice cream, and a bubble bath will soothe my very soul!
