I Am A Woman

I am the sail in a boat sans oar,

Oft like a wave I crash against rocky shores.

I am the first ray of the morn,

Like a beacon I guide through life's storms.

I am music in this world of noise,

Endowed with love and grace and poise,

I am the soft core of stony hearts,

The hit-mark of Cupid's darts.

I am the goddess of hearth and home,

God's finest creation, this distinction I own.

I fail and fall; rise and soar,

Crossing new heights; the horizon I explore.

I am a woman,

I am not just a body,

I am not just a face,

Judge me not for my beauty, my gait;

Harness me not to blind beliefs and faith,

Set me free; see the zenith I embrace.
