Don't judge me by my looks And don't read me by the books I am brash and I am kind I am hard to define I am bold. I am shy I am grounded, but I fly I love, and I give I cradle, I forgive Though soft I may feel I am thunder, I am steel I am smiles and I am laughter I am happily ever after I am tears and I am ache I am a mess when I break I hold tightly, but I know When it's time to let go I am dove, I am hawk I am the rose and the rock I am rain. I am sun I am I. I am woman
Thank you all so much **
Dearest everyone, thank you so much for your likes, loves, reposts. Thank you so much for all your wonderful and encouraging responses. This is a small, simple poem and I wasn't certainly expecting all the attention it has received. I am grateful to all of you talented poets and readers. I am so happy that it was chosen as a daily - it's a wonderful feeling. Love to all.
I am also very thankful to Conrad Druger van den Bergh, an excellent poet and wonderful friend who inspired this x
