We are unlike no other
we embrace you like
the rings of Saturn

We are part of every Life's painted beauty
tall as the Island Palm
strong as the Cypress__on duty

We are the refreshing Oasis of night
and the morning Dove in flight

We are the pot of Gold
at the end of the Skittle Rainbow
and the passionate force
behind every man's fermented soul

Cultured like fresh water pearls
different shades of sunbathed prisms
the Map of Women
in every legend of the world

We shine flawlessly
like diamonds
of the African Mines

The most beautiful
Map of Women
from the beginning
of time

I really love this( hmmm I say that a lot) but anywayz I love women with all my heart and have an immeasurable amount of love for them, so When I see what you have to say about women I jus read the screen and sit here and nod, itz like you're talking to me and telling me one of those old time stories that explain why something is the way it is now...Thank you;

Thank you King for taking the time to read, and also commenting, this came after, I was reading diaries from woman from around the globe, and all their trials, and triumphs. Among all the woman, no matter their location on the map, they were all strong, and seems to strive toward a common denominator. Thank you so much for your warm feedback Take Care.

Much Luv'...~*Painted*~

Yes, this pays homage to woman, however, I also acknowledge the trials, and triumphs of men on the map as well. We are such a unique species, very tenacious, to say the least.

We shine flawlessly

Hey KIM - a fitting tribute for me - Thanx very much! That aside - It really is a fitting tribute for all women to have such praise doled upon them.

The stanza I highlighted is especially poignant, as it really is an effortless thing to simply be that which the Maker has endowed one with.

I like this poem - It speaks of beauty, but yet speaks of the unfathomable strength that is: WOMAN!

Thanx for sharing

Jacquii.

Love this! After reading it, I found myself sitting up a little straighter with my head held up a little higher. Proud and glad to be a woman! I'll have to come back and read this whenever I get those "old", "fat" negative feelings! Thanks for the lift!
