I AM MY WOMAN

People stare at me with confused eyes

They ask to know where my secret lies

They wonder where I found my gait

They love the way I articulate

The softness of my arms

My captivating youthful charm:

This is my woman

The woman I have become

All these and more, are my woman

 

I walk with a quirky poise

People whisper, and it's a delightful noise

The smile on my lips

The curve of my hips

They say I've always been this cool

But honey, do not be fooled:

This is my woman

The woman I have become

All these and more, are my woman

 

They see fire in my eyes

They say I'm for keeps 'cause I'm a prize

There is a grace in my vibes

Something good to imbibe

The warmth I bring

The joy I bring:

This is my woman

The woman I have become

All these and more, are my woman

 

There is something about me

How did I come to be?

The reason behind my womanly pride

The reason for my sedate stride

My aura, as that of a beloved emperor

My shoulders high like that of a conqueror:

This is my woman

The woman I have become

All these and more, are my woman

 

They say I am a mystery

There's definitely more to me

In the stillness of my mind

In the presence of my kind

I become more of the woman I am meant to be

The best of me you are yet to see:

This is my woman

The woman I have become

All these and more, are my woman
