Because A Strong Woman, I Am Poem by Ana Monnar
Because A Strong Woman, I Am
Indeed I still struggle
Swimming upstream with might
Never giving up on what I care for
Because a strong woman, I am
You might use your jagged tongue
To tear me down for what I do
You are so cruel and judgmental
Is it my strength that bothers you?
I wept from your harsh words
That took me by surprise
In front of other guests
Embarrassed I sure was
Instead of wheeling and dealing,
Writing poems and stories, too
You think I should stop it all
Does my independence bother you?
I work full time at school and in my home
Devoting ample time to my kids every day
Cheering at their sports events, celebrations,
Plus, all the pain and glory that presents each day
Glance at the mirror
Take a good look at your soul
If what you see is perfection
Then gently stroke your sharp tongue
I am a strong woman
I will continue to work hard
My accomplishments and failures
Are what make me who I am
If I ever do it differently
It will be because I will change
For God, my children, and me
Not because I am stepped and crushed
I am who I am, not just anyone to fit in
I refuse to fit the mold and take the easy route
Tenacity and endurance is what I hold
Because a strong woman, I am
Outstanding piece! ! ! ! I commend you for your strength in not letting the sharp tongue drag you down... Every woman should read this! Top marks!
This is an excellent read with a strong rhythmic flow and some brilliant touches: 'Take a good look at your soul If what you see is perfection Then gently stroke your sharp tongue.' I admire you spirit, Ana. Your write with determination and passion. love, Allie xxxx

Ana - There is no price that can be put on the 'little things' we do every day for those we love. Some people can't understand the inner strength it takes. Never worry about other's opinions, only focus on how many ways you can continue to show your love, with and without words. Lovely poem - xxxCheryl
