I AM A WOMAN OF STRENGTH


I Am Woman Of Strength 

I walk down the aisles of my local Library  
Why men star at me , 
I am a woman of my faith so look the other 
Way I say ! 
To a one true God Jehovah is who I give my love. 
If that one only known I am hurting just like  
Others , I am poor ,I live in my truck on the streets 
Of lonely cold nights , 
I ask myself if they that are looking at my beauty  
Would they believe I am hurting , 
Would they like me if they new my life is empty  
And cold with no one to hold ! 
I run to Jehovah in my prayer's to give me the strength 
I know I am woman of homeless and weak , 
But it is you Jehovah that gives me my beauty , my heart  
And the strength to keep moving along . 
Whenever my soul needs searching I cry out to God  
To help me to do what he wants of me ,  
I am a woman of deep faith . 
I am a woman of courage 
whenever I am down and others look at me like I am crazy 
To live this away ,  
I give a look with a smile on my face , I have a story you  
Could never believe my life my be harder then one thinks , 
So before Judging me think are you better then me ? 
Did God give you the right to cast the first stone ? 
I maybe tired, drained and worn out but my life is with love 
And I am a mother of four and God gave me the strength to  
Indore some more . 
I know I am strong when others gave up to run in the dark , 
I am woman still in faith running in the race , 
To face the situation I am in , and to face my fears within . 
I am a woman in love with the Lord and my God I adore even more . 
I am  woman of faith that stands on two feet with Jehovah God 
Given me strength night and day , 
I am A Sister who lives a heard life ,who believes in Jehovah's love 
A woman of courage and a women who is poor to keep clean from this world . 
Jehovah God turns my sadness to a joyful dance 
I know, I can brave to face all storm that come my way , 
I know I'll never be alone . 
God Jehovah bring out the best in me. 
My beauty is skin deep , But my heart is clean . 
To love, to care and to reach out I give my all to him that loves me . 
I am Woman with beauty and strength in the Love of Jehovah .

To all my readers you may see that their are grammar errors in my old writings, but these writing are from the 90's ,2000's. I truly didn't think anyone was readying my work . so I just started writing out what I felt and made my pains a story and poems . I had re post these poems and stories all over the internet and I keep them also in file so no one can ever say my work is theirs . I have kept my work as they are just for others to see where it was I started my writing at . The pains are so real not even a game ,The life I had lived I would never wish upon no one . I like to say to all who are taking the steps for change in their life congratulations to the new open doors God bless you . You may have seen my photos on the internet and my writings on Poetry.com and poem hunter etc. you may have seen the hate that others have given to me about my work and my beauty of who I am . But as you can see I will never let the haters Stop me from doing what I love . So I say the same to all of you write your own words and let your heart speak to all your readers . I hope you can understand why I haven't made changes in my work at less not the old ones . My old work are left as they are for me to always remember where it all came from . God bless to all who reads . Lilly Emery /Judy Emery
