Who Is Woman?

Who Is Woman?

Is she ruler of the world?

With hips created to birth,

And a womb fashioned to carry.

Arms skilled to rock,

A tongue made to scold.

A heart born to love.

(Maybe she is.)

Is she the one on television?

Letters dance behind her name,

Power following her like a parade,

Getting ahead has no shame.

A signature for success,

A model of new times.

(Maybe she is)

Is she the one in the kitchen?

Feeding the hungry,

Caring for the ill.

Sweeping the floor,

Wiping the teary eyes,

Baking the apple pie.

(Maybe she is.)

Is she black? Is she white?

Is quiet? Does she put up a fight?

Is she a teacher? Is she a preacher?

Is she married? Or alone?

Is she beautiful? Is she smart?

Does she follow science? Does she love art?

(To all or any: Maybe she is.)

Who is woman?

Let her be what she is,

And let her be what she is not.

Let her thrive,

And let her fail.

Let her be great,

And let her be greater still.

Who is woman?

A body of no other creature;

A purpose of no other soul.

(Holy words read)
And man shall not live alone.

Let her be strong,

And let her be weak.

Let her be traditional.

And let her be unique.

Watch the Woman!

As she waltz's through pages of history.

She is swift and steady.

She is able and ready.

And the pages long to read,

Here, you may see-

Woman being who she was meant to be;

Wild! Beautiful! Completely free.
