This is me...

I am a woman of open skies and dusty roads, A heart that finds peace where the cattle roam, Where sunsets spill gold across the veld, And the noise of the world fades into home. I am not made for drama or games, I long for truth spoken clear and plain. I carry my love with both hands open, Yet still stand strong through joy and pain. I am softer than people often see, Yet stronger than many will ever know. I bend with life's winds but do not break, Like a wild grass taught by seasons to grow. I love deeply, fiercely, completely, The kind of love that stays when storms appear. I treasure laughter, loyalty, and presence, More than promises whispered in my ear. I am a dreamer with dirt on my boots, A soul that belongs beneath wide African skies. I find beauty in simple things— A glass of wine, a sunset, honest eyes. I am still becoming who I was meant to be, Learning when to hold on and when to let go. Finding my voice, trusting my spirit, And choosing the paths my own feet know. I am not perfect, nor do I pretend. I am human, hopeful, and wonderfully real. A woman searching for peace, love, and purpose, And brave enough to say exactly what I feel. This is who I am: A heart that loves, A soul that endures, A woman who keeps rising, And a spirit that remains true.
