Without compulsion, A Woman Am I

 

Someday, you'll grow up

to be the woman you are meant to be...

There were times when the road ahead

seemed impossible to tread upon

Those days are never meant to be remembered

There were days when, in tears, I drowned

and as I wiped them away

I thought it was okay to cry

So I let the tears fall unabashedly

There were those moments when

I was unsure I'd wake up to another sunrise

Then I'd watch out for sunset

And with gratefulness

say

'I was gifted another day'

A woman's worth lies not in uphill tasks,

nor the tears she let fall,

nor her uncertainty with life...

A woman's worth is seen

through her willingness to be

all that she's meant to be

without compulsion
