I am a Woman of Every  Color

She’s beautiful

But not in a conventional way

She’s fragile

But it’s amazing what she can take



She’s powerful

But falls to pieces by the strength of a word

She’s emotional

But careful so she doesn’t get hurt



She’s tender

But tougher than you think that she is

She’s bold

Will see it through till the very end



She’s patient

But she knows just what it is that she wants

She’s anxious

But that’s what being broken down does



She’s forgiving

But don’t let that make you mistake her for weak

She’s healing

Tries to help in all that she speaks



She’s here now

Don’t you let her slip from your grasp

She wants love

but she won’t beg you or ask



She is every woman

Imperfect, but kind

A breakable capable human

Weary but resigned

To love where love is needed

Don’t doubt the power that She creates

No need to challenge or compete

She Can take what’s been torn down and salvage it from hate

All women have a color, signifing unique talents

You simply need a clear perspective

To command a world in balance

Take a look

Let down your guard

Change the world

Its not that hard

Perspective and a forgiving heart

Boldness and perseverance

It’s everything we need to start

Living a life with nuance

Feel the wind of change take hold

In your beautiful garden of colors

Display them proudly as a powerful symbol

Reaching out and changing others
