THE RESILIENCE OF WOMEN
Why should we be nurses, not doctors.
Why should we drive minis not tractors.
Being noticed for our beauty not our minds.
Having a nice personality means not a catch or find.
We can talk for hours about our hopes and fears.
Then wonder if our wrinkles, makes us look older than our years.
Being tough and independent gets us called bitches.
Deep inside truth and honesty means more than riches.
Women are mothers, sisters, bosses and daughters.
If we ruled the world, soldiers wouldn't be slaughtered.
Sisterhood has no barriers, not race nor religion.
These are superficial and fiction.
Would a man walk into a room of women, and feel intimidated.
Are you kidding , he will be elated.
A good man will respect and value qualities in his woman.
A good woman will bring out these in her man.
True friendship can be seen when a woman is proud of her friends achievements.
But in this world also lives women who will hold you back with her negativity and constrainments.
So be true, be the wind beneath someone's wings.
Help them reach the stars, and their dreams
