I pity those that let you go,
I thank the lord they did though,
For all the fools that made you cry,
I cannot help but wonder why,
A woman true with a heart of gold,
A girl so warm no hint of cold,
Are you different just with me,
Am i the one is it meant to be,
Youre beautiful beyond a doubt,
To the world i want to scream and shout,
How special deep and pure,
I am in love there is no cure,
I never could hurt or let you go,
You feel my love now you should know,
We may have times of great pain,
We may take shelter from the rain,
But together we will make a life,
In the future huband and wife,
Our love up there for all to see,
Nothing can stop you and me,
Its all for you the words i say,
I'm all yours i'm here to stay,
No doubt we'll last i know our fate,
We are in love its just too late,
I cannot bear to be appart,
My darling you have my heart,
My best friend with eyes so blue,
Terrie i'm in love with you.

I believe in me,
I like me in the mirror,
I am happy,
I could improve,
I shall try,
I am motivated.
I married into a family where women were treated as dust,
One day we had guests,
My husband slapped me,
Threw things at me,
Then started to abuse me verbally,
He wanted to silence me.
I know my worth,
I was important,not garbage,
I took courage and hit him hard,
Forced him to apologise,
Now he respects me and supports me.
I am powerful.
My mother-in-law too,tried to bully me,
Flung choicest insults at me
Ridiculed me in front of my friends,
No way! I inhaled confidence,
Tossed doubts about my ability out of the window,
Straightened her firmly.
We have peace at last!
I am exuberant.
Allah too,puts you on tests and trials,
I do my utmost to embrace the
challenges,
By His Grace I manage,
I am energetic and earnest.
To beg and borrow I detest,
We manage to live within my huband's  income.
I am accountable.
I hate envy and jealousy,
I distance myself  from gossips,
Instead I visit the sick and the aged,
I help the widows and orphans,
I am organised.
A smile costs less than electricity,
Mine is contagious,
I have a sense of humour too,
I spread my happiness,
It is my goal,I am ambitious.
I am not perfect,
I make mistakes,
I struggle to overcome them,
I want to make my today a better tomorrow,
I am at peace.
I am the mistress of my own thoughts and emotions.
