Woman

I have the strength to nurture

I have the courage to protect

I have enough love to heal any heart or any part of me that is stricken

I am eternal.  Evolving.

Transformations cut me. 

Tragedies sear my skin yet my soul remains untarnished

And my heart's beat is complete

I am a gift that is received and given

I am here. I am woman.

 At last, I know me.

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
