Powers of a Young Woman

From my walk to my talk

To the way I speak

I am a woman

The way I can take command of a room

And pour my soul into my words

I am a woman

My gaze pierces the hearts of unsuspecting souls

The snap of my fingers seizes commotion and peace can intervene

I am a woman

I can survive without a man in this world

Because I am the one who enhances a man

I am a woman

My mind and body can not be taken

Nor can be taken by anyone but myself

I am a woman

From highest point in the solar system

To the lowest valley in canyon

My spirit which embodies my entire being can be found

Twinkling like the brightest star in the sky

I am a woman

My spirit is me

And it is remarkable

It can stop people in their tracks

And leave them wanting more of its warm embrace

The way a short encounter with a soul mate can be fleeting

My spirit can come and go if not properly acknowledged

My love is something deeper than the oceans

And wider than the imagination of a young school child

I can surpass any challenge with the grace of a gazelle

And the roar of a crying lioness that has lost her child

Womanhood is ingrained in all

It is what makes me flawless

Respect is given to a strong woman

Like it is to a bold man

With the blood that runs like a river through my veins

The source of womanhood is everlasting in my body

One must be careful with such a power

As ego may fall through and destroy a good thing

Fear of heartbreaks and love interest

Must not influence your womanhood

But be a reminder to be resilient

As those walls tumble

From your heart

Your womanhood can flow

Say it with me

I am a woman
