Stealing His Kisses

Okay sorry I havent been updating this lately I’ve had a lot of stuff going on around me and a lot of things have been taking all of my attention… but I am back now and I SHOULD be able to post blogs everyday, I am hoping anyway.

This Poem is again by my Gammy… a lot of my Weekly Wednesday Poetry Readings will be by her because she is my absolute favorite Poet. I love the way she looks at the world she sees everything in such a beautiful light… I hope that one day when I’m all grown up with babies of my own I can see the world through her eyes. I am very happy to share her beautiful words with you so you can see what I mean.

“THE WOMAN IN ME”

I am a Mother, don’t ask me my name,
I’m just one of millions, created the same.
I give you life, I nurture your soul,
For I am a Mother and this is my role.

I am a daughter, don’t ask me my name,
I’m just one of millions, created the same.
I bear the traits, of the Mother who bore me,
For I am the daughter, of the woman before me.

I am a grandmother, don’t ask me my name,
I’m just one of millions, created the same.
I’ve pushed past the bondage, for my right to be me,
For I am a grandmother, liberated and free.

I am a wife, don’t ask me my name,
I’m just one of millions, created the same.
I give you support, all the love you require,
For I am a wife, I give all you desire.

I am a sister, don’t ask me my name,
I’m just one of millions, created the same.
I fight to be equal, amongst one another,
For I am a sister and you are my brother

I am a woman, don’t ask me my name,
I’m just one of millions, created the same.
I wear many faces, fulfill many needs,
For I am a woman and this is my creed.
