REFLECTIONS 2014

You are a woman when

 Your flesh tears and bleeds

 But you gotta work

 You gotta eat

You gotta feed your herd

You are   woman stepping into

The steps of your grandmothers

Mothers aunts and big sisters

 Your back is no longer delicate.

 A woman cleans brushes and scrubs

Has bruises and broken nails

And the often swollen fingers-

The feet occasionally ,Sometimes eyes

 From lack of sleep

 Or rest

 Or  from tears.

 You are a woman

And your man is special

You want him alright

Being himself

Being a woman

Easy

Hard

fun

 Pure misery at times.

Joys and sorrows

Feelings and emotions

Hopes and fears, define a woman.
