Woman

To be a woman is somwthing to be cherished.  A mother,sister,wife or friend.
To be a woman is something to be cherished.

I have a brain, my own mind.  I have rights, hopes and dreams.
To be a woman is aomething to be cherished.

I have the right for freedom, a voice to be heard.
I choose to love, I choose to love.

To be a woman is something to be cherished.  At the hands of a man woman shall not perish.

This poem was inspired by many books I have read on the mistreatment of woman.
