What is a woman?
W – Wonderfully made, a beautiful creation of God
O – Open minded with gifted strength to handle life’s knocks, no matter how hard
M – Man’s gift from our father above
A – Always willing to give of herself with love
N – Neglects her own needs for the needs of others
What is a woman? I’m glad you asked she’s the little girl who grew up looking for her fairytale life.
She’s the teenager who said someday I’ll be somebodies wife
She’s the mother who when her children cry, she dries their tears
She’s the woman who doesn’t run; she stands strong and faces her fears
She’s the sister, the niece and the aunt, the doctor when you’re sick, the lawyer when you’re in trouble, the grieving widow, the comforter, and the peace maker, she’s the lady and all the nice things she’s expected to be.
She’s the single mom who cries out to God, Lord don’t forget about me.
Let’s not forget she’s the hooker on the street, facing the dangers at the risk of getting beat.
She’s the one being beaten, misused and abused, the one wearing the scars from being raped, battered and bruised.
She’s the one on drugs, caught out through no choice of her own
She’s the one HIV grabbed on to and said now you’re mine alone
She’s the one alcohol said, let me drown your sorrows while I eat up your liver
Wow; being a woman sure makes you quiver.
I ask you, “What is a Woman”. She’s Phenomenal and Unique (Woman)
Call her straight, gay, skinny, fat, ugly, beautiful, young or old,
She’s been called treacherous, a liar, a whore a mistress, and a tramp, man that’s cold.
In spite of being called everything but her name
The fact remains she will still be the same (A woman).
She’s proud, independent, reliable, giving, loving and trustworthy too
She’s a friend, a child of the almighty God, anything less just won't do
She’s warm, gentle and kind, at the end of the day in her you’ll find a women seeking peace of mind.
You know about all these things that she’s been through
Because guess what as women she’s me and she’s you.
