I am a woman
Gentle and free
All that my
Father
Created me to be.
He gave me tenderness
To kiss scraped knees
Laughter as a summer breeze
Strength to walk
Beside a man
But in a way
That is Father's
plan.
Kindness to bring
That others
May see
The beauty of Christ
That resonates within me.
Courage to carry
Within my womb
A gift of life
To grow Inside
Strength to
Birth making way
For new life
Tending and teaching
The ways of Christ.
It says in the Book
"Her husband
calls her blessed"
To me he's the one
That matters
Never mind the rest
Faithful and true
A daughter of
The Most High
His child as a woman
Is how I reside
Royalty in creation
Back hills
Or mansions
A balance
In each place
unafraid to walk
as myself
Any place
I embrace how
He made me
To run this race
Has kissed my face
And points the way
Each and every day.
Palace
Or shanty
Ballgown or shorts
I in my Father
a woman
In His hand
Freely bring life
As I walk across the land.
