Woman Poem by Jodie Mayhew

As mother; ı am nurturer
A guardian; a guide
As mother, ı am gentleness
A warmth of selfless pride
As mother; ı am teacher
I'm strength; security
A mother ı am love&peace
I am the sanctuary

As daughter; ı am humbled
I am sheltered; ı am child
As daughter ı'm a student of
The mirror of my eyes
A daughter; ı seek wisdom
And knowledge of the past
A daughter; ı am ınnocent
I've questions ı must ask

As sister; ı am bound by blood
A confidante for life
A sister ı am kindred truth
Eternally entwined
As sister and as no-one else
I speak so honestly
A sister; ı am not like you
But you are part of me

As woman ı am beautiful
A soul of peace of grace
As woman ı've a special role
No-one could fill my place
As woman ı am all of these
And very glad to be
A woman who just wears her heart
With pride upon her sleeve
Where all the world can see!
