When a Woman Is Just a Woman

When a woman is just a woman
........... her true self she shows

When she is honest with herself
............her confidence glows

When she reacts with expression 
.........with all emotions combined

When you never have to question
.........repeatedly speaks her mind

When she gives her attention
...........shows tender loving care

When she shows her inner child
..........does everything with flair

When she voices her opinion
......... omits when incorrect

When she exposes her heart
..........treats all with respect 

When she gives you her all
.........asks little in return

When her eyes are open wide
.........always ready to learn

When she has nothing to hide
......... her heart on her sleeve

When a woman is just a woman
...........her soul you will perceive
