~ Power of a Woman ~

Her heart is set on making life
As rich as it can be.
She uses all, within her means,
To improve reality.

She tends the beauty of her home
With loving hands that care.
Whether rich or poor, you'll always find
A touch of magic there.

A woman's heart is very strong
And filled with firm resolve
To do her best for those she loves,
Including friends who call.

When hardships threaten to destroy
The things that she holds dear,
She walks right on, with head held high,
And casts aside her fears.

Her heart is sometimes broken,
In valleys of despair.
But, even if she sometimes falls,
She doesn't linger there.

A woman knows that gentleness
Will never make her weak.
It lights the path, along the way,
To find the things she seeks.

Be careful how you judge her.
There is much you may not know.
For, the power of a woman
Is locked deep within her soul.
