I am a woman

A long day is ahead, 
yet the hours are few,
Some old plans come alive, 
and I nourish some dreams anew..

The pain of being taken for granted, 
and the joy of being loved,
The ecstasy of being embraced, 
and the hurt of being shoved…

A will to accomplish, 
a fear to lose (it all)
A smile to win over, 
a tear ready to fall….

Some moments of glory, 
and miles of oblivion,
And the sense of achievement, 
and some emotions being torn…

I smile silently
when comes the rare compliments, 
And I take in my stride 
many a complaints..

So true is the saying
That the Earth is a woman,
We all step on her everyday
And she will never complain…

Oh yes, I am a woman
And such is my story,
Come storm or rain,
I will always bathe in glory……..
