The woman I am is filled with hope.

My life experiences have taught me the ropes.

The woman I am is focused and steady,

to take on the world, I know I am ready.

The woman I am is sensitive and caring,

giving freely from my heart, I don’t mind sharing.

The woman I am is secure and stable,

to take on like’s challenges, I am willing and able.

The woman I am is aging with grace,

all the wrinkles in life have not left their trace.
