"On Being A Woman"

It started off as just a dream
A concept in the making
Then two people united & created a reality
And that reality was me
I came into the world full of wonder
Wondering what life as a woman would hold
I came into the this life filled longing
Longing to explore the boundaries of the universe
As I grew older, knowledge touched my soul
And made my body shiver
Creating within me candle of hope:
Within me hope remains.
