The Strength of a Woman

The strength of a woman should not be taken for granted Nor should it be misunderstood It is not that she can't, for she has proven she could The woman is uplifted by the compliments spoken Yet torn from deceit of her heart being broken The hurt of a woman lies within, hides within, cries within Her smile comforts her pain As she chose never to run away from the rain From your stupidity, you try your best to bring her down And now her uncertainty is shown through a frown Shake it off, are you serious? Don't ever stoop that low Of allowing that man control of removing your smile and glow The strength of a woman is revealed from one who fell down Was pushed down, knocked down, yet did not stay down Now she began to look up, get up, climb up, stand up, and stay up The strength of a woman, don't try to understand Just know the power of a woman cannot be taken by man Her future holds many possibilities that are fitted like a cap She knows her destination without a navigation system or map She is now the astronaut, the lawyer, the CEO and the cook Her life is observed by many for she has written her own book The strength of a woman to push out a life and pull a heavy load Are some of the many stories of her journey to be told Who is this woman that she can choose To pick from her closet different types of shoes Yes, 3 inch heels, they hold it all All the weight and burdens she carries when she stands tall Through persistence, perseverance and determination She was able to overcome, the outcome, with little income Which shows just how she has BECOME the woman of strength
