A Woman’s Identity
by
A Woman’s Identity
Women seem to lose who they are
In your heart, it leaves a scar.
You were a individual before you where married
With family and children, the burden you carry.
Looking after everyone else’s needs
Your inner spirit begins to plead.
The guilt you feel when you take time for you
Makes you feel it is always wrong to do.
When you go out on a shopping spree
I forgot to buy something just for me.
Somehow we, are taught right from the start
Our feelings inside do not play apart.
We, are taught how to care and to nurture
Remember you are raising the future.
A woman’s shoulder is very strong
She gives hugs and kisses when things go wrong.
A woman’s identity
Is her quest for her life long serenity?
A Woman’s Power
We have this gift embedded inside
We carry it with us a sense of pride.
We are required to be many things
How do we do this the wonder it brings.
We, are considered to be the weaker ones
The impact we have speaks a ton.
We have the ability to capture your heart
We contribute a lot and play a big part.
We are mothers, sisters and best friends
We stand by our man to the bitter end.
We nurture our children then they become adults
We have our mood swings and our faults.
We are responsible for the domestic chores
We do laundry, dishes and sweeping the floors.
A woman is challenge in life each day
We do this for free and without any pay.
If a man could walk a mile in our shoes
He would sing our praises that’s the least he could do.
He would treat us with the respect that we deserve
He should not always expect to be served.
Women, have a power that is not man made
It’s been around for several decades.
When a man calls us names and screams and shouts
It is of his insecurities coming out.
A women’s power makes the world go round
It is a gift inside that makes no sound.
When a Woman Feels Insecure
I wanted to hear your voice on the phone
I was tired of feeling I was all alone
I had not seen you for several weeks
Very few words did we even speak
I missed you to the point that it really hurt
My spirits were down somewhere in the dirt
I left you a message to make time for me
I needed to know where you setting me free
We had spoken on the phone just the night before
You left me wanting you even more
I felt that I, was just being ignored
Night after night sitting at home, feeling so bored
My phone is ringing it’s you on the line
You were thinking of me it was a sign
A few moments later came a knock on the door
I opened the door and my spirits began to soar
Standing there with the smile on his face
Was my love as my heart started to, race
Tears starting falling down my cheeks
Be still my heart my knees are feeling weak
Never before has a man been so kind
He new I was hurting how this would ease my mind
My love lives several hours away
He showed me his love upon this day
Feeling insecure was making me sad
He brighten, my day and made me feel glad
A Woman Needs Time
I used to think it was a selfish thing
To want happiness and what it would bring
From the very start, I put myself last
My wants and needs I would always cast
I had a hard time learning to live
I thought it was my job to always, give
You give to your family and your friends
This path, you travel seems to never end
It is time to make a healthy change
Your priorities, you must rearranged
When you deny yourself the pleasure of life
It was lost somewhere between being a mother or wife
You struggle to find your individuality
You are just, so busy, this is your reality
No time to find a quiet place
The stress, is written on your face
You are feeling lost with nowhere to go
Taking another trip to the grocery store
You have the right to feel free
A decision I made to make time for me
What Ever Happens Between You and I
I remember when we first met
I was looking for someone a date to get
You answered my message that I had sent
Our conversation was good on a date we went
There was an attraction from the start
In my life, you played a big part
I learned you lived in a different state
Our relationship, would be challenged at any rate
I had some baggage that was in my heart
You gave me courage to make a new start
I felt some things that were not there before
You had opened up a brand new door
We have been friends for a few months
My feelings have grown we have had a few bumps
You showed me how I could stand on my own
Day after day, I am still alone
I do not regret the time that we had
I have no reason to feel hurt or sad
What Ever Happens Between You and I
I will carry the rewards until I die
A Woman Needs Romance
Men, were taught the ultimate respect
They, were looked down upon for showing women disrespect
There was a time when a man would opened a car door
Respectfully ask her out to the dance floor
Roses and romance, or just to be admired
Those days are gone and chivalry is retired
What happened to just a peck on the cheek
A sign of respect no insults he would speak
A man would walk his date to the door
Now, it’s, only done because, he’s hoping to score
A man would never think of raising his hand
A lasting future with love is what he had planned
He would not ever cheat on his wife
He was married to her for the rest of his life
Times continue to change in away
How we wish we were back in the good ole days
Women read romance novels and fantasy tales
Searching for love with all the details
What Happened to romance through the years
It is a lost art so it appears
When a Woman Believes
Things are not always as they seem
Is it reality or just a dream?
Things in life are not always fair
Sometimes it feels like no one cares.
You take the path that you choose
Sometimes you win and sometimes you lose.
Decisions in life are not always an easy task
Sometimes it’s easier to hide behind a mask.
There are things in life that you can change
Some things remain just out of your range.
Greet each day with a positive attitude
There is no need for you to be rude.
Things that cause you to have, a horrible heartache
Sometimes in life are just too much for you to take.
Step back for a moment and take a break
Do what ever it takes.
You will always be relieved
When you trust in yourself and believe.
Women of Mystery
Men say that we are a complete mystery
Answers have been sought through out history.
A woman is not so hard to understand
We were created to help carry out God’s plan.
We are the daughters of Mother Nature you see
We are the foundation to our future to be.
We are the voice you hear in your heart
In a man’s world we play a big part.
A gift was placed deep in our soul
Women’s intuition if you did not know.
We have the ability to create a new life
To always stand by your side and become your wife.
We all have a desire that is in our heart
To always be caring and nurturing from the start.
We are very fragile when comes to our emotions
We are capable of giving you a love potion.
When we find the man of our dreams
Our unconditional love flows like a stream.
We ask in return you treat us with respect
Not to be squashed like a tiny insect.
We ask for love, understanding, and compassion
Women do this with unconditional passion
Women are not a mystery as you see
We can’t help that in life we hold the key
Jungle Love
Something clinging to my inner vines
While my emotions tremble and start to whine.
With an animal instinct to be loved
Surly this is Nature’s way of giving you a shove.
Creating a passionate heat with an exotic desire
Emotions are high creating a raging fire.
Jungle drums keeping beat to the sound of our hearts
our pounding rhythm has engulfed us no tearing us apart.
Like hot volcanic lava starting to flow
our sexual juices are starting to blow.
Our bodies glistening like a warm tropic rain
our thoughts of pleasure in our hearts remain.
Our jungle love ritual is completed and done
our minds and bodies intertwined as one.
My Strength
Why do I search for a loving embrace?
His arms open wide for the entire race.
A gentle spirit you feel in your heart
A guide in your life he plays a big part.
Your sorrows he hears when you speak
An unconditional love theirs no need to seek.
A friend you have through all eternity
That inner peace brings a gift of serenity
He turns my frown into a smile
Never once leaving my side through life’s little trials
Sometimes in life I lose my way
Heartache and pain it fills my day.
I look to the heavens far up above
In my heart he shows me compassion and love.
I sing him praises for my life he spared
An intimate moment in prayer we shared.
No other man can even compare
My lord all mighty I know you care.
You wipe my tears when they fall
Forgive my sins no matter how big or small.
I turn to you in my moment of need
For God I have planted that spiritual seed.
Sunday Morning
The smell of coffee brewing in the air
Out on my balcony at Mother Nature I stare.
The morning is bright with a wintry bite
Watching birds taking off in there glorious flight.
Sounds of life as I begin a new day
Children are up and are starting to play.
My thoughts are clouded with an image of you
A relationship starting it is so brand new
I wonder if you are still warm in your bed
Thoughts of you are caught in my head
Very little time do we have to spend all a lone?
Lots of things in common a friendship is shown.
My thoughts have drifted to a night spent with you
A lasting relationship I will want to pursue.
The ground is covered with tiny drops of glistening dew
The only thing missing I am not sharing it with you.
Battered Women
Battered women come from all walks of life
Unspeakable pain endured by sisters, mothers, friends and wives.
The first time it happens you are in shock
It was over something silly like losing a lock.
He leaves the house with and excuse to go drink
My stomach is sick I threw up in the sink.
He returns home later feeling remorse
This will never happen again but of course.
Times goes by the bruises are healed
The wrenching pain in your heart has been sealed.
Family and friends are unaware
It is too embarrassing to want to share.
You blame yourself for making him mad
I promise to you I will never be bad.
Deep in your heart he has created a fear
Get up woman and get me a beer.
The physical and mental control has begun
His potential violence is like a loaded gun.
Years of this abuse leaves you sad and alone
There is no way possible raising a child on my own.
So the cycle continues and only gets worse
The damage is done no money in my purse.
Women are battered by no choice of there own
They are belittled, embarrassed scared to the bone.
This is a epidemic our nation had saw
To abuse a woman is against the law.
If you are reading this you have survived
Many more woman have lost and died
Woman’s Intuition
This is a gift that is hard to explain
For centuries now it has driven men insane.
This is something that cannot be taught
An insight to a woman’s travels which never can be bought.
The ability to know things deep in your heart
It is instilled in us right from the start.
It becomes more powerful through out the years
It speaks to you so that know one else can hear.
It creates a clear picture inside your head
To decipher words that once was said.
This is the voice that will catch you in a lie
It is something inside until the day we die.
It gives us the knowledge to understand
In raising our children it is our helping hand.
It is not an emotion it is hard to describe
A woman’s intuition cannot be bribed.
A Woman’s Prayer
Give me the strength I need to survive
A new life to start is about to arrive.
I have a career to help make ends meet
I have an obligation to keep the house neat.
With a child I am raising at home
My time is precious not of my own.
Give me the strength to greet each day
Allow me to handle what ever comes my way.
My days are long and no time to rest
I feel like my life is always a test.
It is the weekend not time to sleep in
There is laundry to do and the floors need sweeping.
Give me the strength to always be strong
The ability to cope when things start going wrong
The washing machine has overflowed
Out in the yard the lawn needs mowed.
I gave my husband a honey do list
I will do it later as he insists.
A woman’s prayer changes each day
It gives her the strength and lights her way.
A Woman’s Nature
We are creatures with emotional needs
With kindness and hope we plant the seeds.
We can fall in love and become someone’s wife
We have the ability to create a life.
It is natural for us to be a foundation
We are the back bone to the entire nation.
Our hearts are worn upon our sleeves
We create dreams with a chance to believe.
We are patience with a nurturing side
We are able to dry the tears that are ultimately cried.
To comfort a child in there time of need
Written in time this is a mother’s creed.
The ability to be your number one fan
Creating a life full of memories this was gods plan
A woman’s nature is to be loving and kind
The foundation to a family is what you will find.
When Women Struggle
We are challenged in our everyday lives
We play a role of mother’s and wives.
We are educated and show we are smart
Our pay is lower from the very start.
We balance our families and careers
The going is tough we shed many tears.
We carry the burden of a nurturing kind
To our accomplishments sometimes men are blind.
Men do believe when there work day is done
They deserve to come home and have some fun.
So, on the couch when you open the door
You find your man lying there starting to snore.
Women come home after working all day
There is dinner to make not time to play.
The children need bathing and homework to be done
Laundry heeds washing my god there is a ton.
Dinner is done and you put away the food
Patience are worn you are in a bad mood
It is nine o’clock time for children to go to bed
Your feet are aching and your body feels dead.
A woman struggles to get through her day
Your husband does not understand why you don’t want to play.
When a Woman Fails
Her heart fills heavy like a mud drenched lake
The inner pain she feels sometimes is more than she can take.
Just as quickly and violently as a thunder storm
These failures come in many different forms.
A tornado of destruction swirling inside
The oceans of tears at night in her bed are cried.
Like the hurricane winds that rip through her soul
A sense of loneliness only she can know.
Her heart is battered with gulf sized hail
She has lost her way on a snow covered trail.
These emotions flow like a breaking dam
I am a woman of strength I am.
Women can weather a lifetime of storms
Our triumph comes in many different forms.
Women of Color
Made up from the colors of her life
With wonderful experience’s created from being a mother or wife.
A masterpiece from within her heart
Created from memories for the most part
She sees the colors within her mind
Painted with the finest bristles she can find
This portrait of life created inside
With vibrant colors reflecting courage and pride.
This portrait of life can never be bought
It was created by lessons in life that was taught.
A spiritual gift handed down through the years
The ability to paint life just as it appears.
A woman’s color is invisible to the naked eye
A work of art that is never finished until the day she dies.
My Daughter
An identity she searches for that is all her own
The essence of a woman not yet full grown
I am old enough to do as I want
In my mind how these words seem to haunt.
She works two jobs to go out and play
Help me out mom I have bills to pay.
She is a senior in her final year
Her maturity level has not yet appeared.
When I am eighteen I will be free to be me
Excuse me daughter your rent will not be free.
We bicker and fight over her spending rights
The nasty words she says just out of spite.
She goes off to school without a goodbye
My wisdom goes unnoticed no matter how hard I try.
I am the one who as created this mess
Now I have to deal with all this stress.
I sheltered and protected this child of mine
I did everything for her now I am paying the fine.
I saw the wrong that I was doing
A more responsible daughter is what I am pursuing.
On My Own
I am a woman out on my own
I am widowed living life all alone
Changes in life some not of my choice
Trying to survive with advice from my inner voice
It’s been over a year since my husband died
The ocean’s of tears in my bed at night that I cried.
I walk a path this is not always clear
Sometimes I am not as confident as I appear.
I had to learn to conquer the fear
I have learned a new path and the future is clear
Finding the strength from deep down inside
Creating a sense of courage and pride
Taking each day and doing my best
On my own I am passing this test.
Feeling Alone
My spirit is down like the falling rain
The week was long and my body is drained.
So many things seem to happen at once
Sometimes I feel like such a dunce.
Making decisions whether they are good or bad
Doing them alone it can make me sad.
I have been making it on my own
Raising my daughter its hard all alone.
I wish I had someone to come home to at night
To help with this burden of this endless fight
Hardly enough money to make ends meet
I am one paycheck away from being on the street.
Most of my time I spend at my home
Reflecting on life and how much I have grown.
A tortured past I have survived
An independent woman has begun to arrive.
A woman who has had shattered dreams
Sometimes it feels like I am coming apart at the seams.
Someone to hold me when things go wrong
Helping me achieve and to remain strong.
Wanting to feel a loving touch
Another night alone sometimes is just too much.
In My Dreams
The peaceful slumber of sleep arrives
My heart is alone and it has been deprived.
The events of the day has left me blue
Another night spent alone without you.
I know not where to look for love
I look for the answers from heaven above.
The feeling of loneliness while I am awake
At times it is just too much for my heart to take.
In my dreams I am hoping to find
Someone who loves me gentle and kind
I wake up several times in the night
This inner turmoil has caused a fight.
My dreams do not offer the peace of mind
To show me a love my eyes are blind.
I begin to think what is wrong with me
I am damaged goods from what used to be.
The night has gone and the sun is awake
In my dreams are they real or fake.
Natures Melody
It is coming down hard on this desert land
Disappearing in the hot and thirsty sand
The lightening dances through the darkened sky
The thunder answers back with a heart wrenching cry.
The rain hit’s the valley like a speeding train
The music of natured pounds through your brain
Mother Nature has created a masterpiece
With water filled clouds a melody released.
The sage brush is swaying to the gentle wind
Just waiting for an encore to begin
The show has ended for the night
Our valley is glistening, what a glorious sight.
My Island
A place that exists in my soul
A place of serenity that only I know
A place that can be reached in my dreams at night
A place where my spirit takes off in flight
Where a rhythm flows from a mountain stream
Between the trees in the sunlight it beams.
The sounds of nature as she sings
The comfort and warmth this place always brings.
The fragrance of tropic flowers fills my senses
My heart is free without any fences.
This peaceful place not touched by man
A place I visit at night is my plan.
Protected from a world where no one cares
Away from a world filled with despair.
Hatred and racism is never spoken
A place where your heart is never broken
My island gives me the sense of tranquility
A place I find my serenity.
Friends
We met only a few months ago
A friendship began my pal and amigo.
An understanding what the other one needs
To our future we are planting the seeds.
The fruits of our friendship we are starting to sow
Slowly put surely they continue to grow.
Our hearts are becoming intertwined
Our souls are starting to combine.
We live apart in two different states
Just a few times a month are we able to date.
Busy with children and lives of our own
For right now we talk on the phone.
My heart leaves with you whenever you go
I am falling in love I hope you know.
I bury my face for it tears that are cried
My feelings are showing I can no longer hide.
You live in a city near San Francisco Bay
