The Gift
Empowerment begins within myself,
The right to love whoever I may choose
Is only mine if I can love myself,
Otherwise I am always doomed to lose.
My strength, from knowing who I really am,
To stand with pride against the tides of hate;
And hateful words no longer hurt or damn
When my feminine power holds my fate.
I am independent of all I fear,
I can and will stand on my own two feet,
The goddess inside that holds me as dear
And I can dance to my own special beat.
For when my soul stumbles and needs a lift
This, my power, is the most precious gift.
