Woman

Like the multiple images portrayed Between two mirrored walls She takes on many roles Only she can embody each one Grandmother, mother, sister, daughter Wife, mistress, girlfriend, lover Employer, colleague, student, teacher Companion, caretaker, partner, friend The only one that can birth life Although hers is, too often, taken for granted In this so-called “man’s world” She sacrifices it all Admire her beauty Whether it is skin deep Natural or artificial She is perfectly flawed Her skin firm and supple Or soft and plump Sagging or wrinkled Young or old Be grateful for her nourishment Her mother’s milk Her nurturing chicken soup Her warm embrace For she endures when all seems lost She unites when hearts are broken She will love unconditionally She alone can heal you or hurt you like no other Her bond is the hardest to sever For once upon a time, you were one So appreciate her Love her For she is weak enough to forget her own strength Strong enough to admit she is weak Imperfect, graceful, powerful, intuitive, beautiful Woman
