On the eve of Women’s History Month 2012, I would like to share a poem I wrote three years ago inspired by the power of women:
W*O*M*A*N
I am a WUH – HU……MUH – HAN!
That’s right!
I am a woman!
And I’ve got it all
I have the curves and the nerves
The steels and the heels
I know what I want
And I know who I am
I have the power to give life
And the strength to heal strife
I’m voluptuous and kind
No need to press rewind
On my life ’cause I don’t regret
None of my events, you bet!
I can do ten things at a time
Listen to you cry
Put my emotions aside
And wait til you’re all cured inside
I can run and walk through rain
I aint’ shallow nor vain
Can take any kind of pain
‘Cause baby, I am a woman of this DAY!
Don’t tell me I can’t commit
Just ’cause I don’t have your little “bits”
I don’t need three little parts
I’ve got my big-ass fuckin’ heart!
Let’s make it a great month!!
