I Am A Woman Poem by Lyn Paul

I Am A Woman

Rating: 4.8


A woman can change her face
Simply with Cosmetics
Style her hair
Simply with strokes
Extend her lashes
Simply with treatment
Remove the lines
Simply with the unnatural

A woman does not need to remove the lines
The lines are there to show life
A Woman's lines add mystery
Add time. Express time
Show confidence. Ease
A Woman's lines
As A Man's
Express that we can
Be confident with who we are
Too Not have age taken from us

Age is precious
Be proud
Enjoy each line
Watch age grow
For with it's beauty
Age is to be proud
For the life you have lived

Beautiful poem Lyn. I too feel proud to be a woman. Very true said, no need to count on lines, no need to remove lines, these lines are the life we lived and gathered many beautiful experiences in our life. Fantastic lines that add beauty to the poem Age is precious Be proud Enjoy each line Watch age grow For with it's beauty Age is to be proud For the life you have lived We have to be proud of the life we lived and the age is our beauty that smiles in lines......Loved the positivity it conveys.

We should embrace the changes in our appearance and be proud as women who have lived life to the full! Beautiful write Lyn! Thank you so much for the lovely comments on my poems!

i like some of the lines women show, but they are not the lines you are talking about. i just got your note about this poem. i read it once and have some suggestions/comments i'll get to another time. the gist of it is to feel comfortable with and even be proud of aging, accompanied by body changes...at least the 'lines'. right? but i don't feel negative about people (not just women) who alter their appearance to please themselves or others. i will mention one 'oops': you used it's for its. it is an exception to the general rule of using an apostrophe to indicate possession, as in Bri's ice cream. bri :) p.s. i also feel you are entitled to embrace your age lines, and if they give you a sense of pride, that is fine with me! ! remind me if i don't send more remarks on this poem in the next few days. thanks. they may be via a message, not a comment.

A beautiful poem! Age is precious Be proud Enjoy each line Watch age grow. .......................... Age is to be proud For the life you have lived... I love these lines. I agree with the poet entirely. The higher the mountain, the more the contours. These lines are the lines of precious wisdom writ large on the canvas of time! My tribute to all aging women!

A beautiful tribute to women, no matter what age they are. A wonderful poem on ageing, shows wisdom, compassion and understanding, all qualities of the poet's great heart. Ageing is presented as the mellowing and pride of a fine French wine. Here's to the poet's great work, to be savored many a time. Cheers!
