Woman

Your quirks and foibles, I can deal with
You are different
You do not conform to societal norms,
Beat to your own drum, never held down
By any man's thumb
You are special
Ego intact from a solid upbringing
You do not need to cook or clean
To earn the title woman or wife
You are special
The shackles of society will never hold down
You are too strong
From you I learn every day 
The power of embracing my singularity
For that is the springboard of life
Which will catapult me into the stratosphere
I am different
It is our uniqueness that brings us together
Makes us strong, makes us shine, 
Makes us special
