I am Woman

By Dawn Conrad James

I am so much more than the 'rib' ascribed to my gender by biblical history...

I am more than sexual organs and Orifices

Designed for man's pleasure...

 

So much more than

The hands

To Comfort Clean Cook Diaper Sew...

 

So much more than

The tongue

Gushing

Words of adoration

Vindictive abuses

Utterances of prayers.

 

See me

For the whole of me...

See me

Not only for my

Outward comeliness...

See me

And admire

My brain...

The totality of

My energies

Bringing to bear

On All phases of this life

 

To

Advance

Enrich

Secure

A better way

For all.

 

I am woman!

Inured with the strength

Of a tsunami

Lathered with

Patience and

Endurance

Endowed with such

Intelligence

Many fear my

Existence.

 

And yet...

I hold within my heart

Compassion...

I hold within my heart

Sympathy...

I hold within my heart

Forgiveness...

I hold within my heart

Unconditional love

For His world...

The environment and all therein.

 

I am woman!

Need I say more?
