A Woman's Strength

From deep within
a woman's heart
there lay a strength

One born of steel,
tempered in fire, and
aged with time

Many will never discover this secret
for they go through life
with blinders

Their day exists
only for the forward movement
of yet one more day

But every once in a while
there comes a woman who,
in her silence time; discovers this strength

It is as if the world were
suddenly opened up wide
just for her

Displaying it's 'true' beauty
she discovers new and wonderful things
that have lain hidden in her heart

That suddenly become
living breathing miracles
miracles given to her

By her new heart, her new soul,
and her newfound strength and
for the rest of her life,

She will carry these miracles,
this new strength and
all the fire and wisdom with her

The most wonderful miracle of all
she will share these many miracles
with those she loves

Born of strength, tempered in fire,
aged in time
and she shall be called woman

her strength everlasting
