The strength of a woman



The strength of a woman.
It is much more then what meets the eye, she possesses strength far beyond understanding.
She is a woman,
Fearfully and wonderfully made.
She commands the howling winds to quiet down with just her finger,
Her thunderous voice shakes even the biggest of mountains.
You see the strength of a woman lies not in her ability to physically move boulders,
But she is strong because
She gives life.
Young boys grow up to be strong men and little girls become independent women.
From her nurturing and teachings,
an entire nation in born.
Her strength is deep rooted and produces the most delicate of flowers even in the most unpleasant circumstances.
She is no wizard yet she speaks things into existence.
She may not have much but she will make sure to feed your mind, body and your soul.
She is an incredible being,
God's gift to all mankind.
A prayer warrior,
Therefore her strength lies in her knees,
her power lies in her tongue and
her weapon against destruction is her faith.
She is a woman, but most importantly
SHE IS YOU.
