"Archetypal Female"

She can bring forth life
grown in her body
feed it, helps it grow strong

She nurtures, gives
her time and her love
all her hard-working life long

She is old, or childless,
athletic, artistic, or 
disabled, different, other

She is me, and my sister, 
my neighbor, or lover, 
She's my daughter and my mother.

She is you. I am too.
