WOMAN-I AM EVERYTHING!
Women are honest, loyal, and forgiving.
They are smart, knowing that knowledge is power.
But they still know how to use
their softer side to make a point.
Women want to be the best for their Family, their friends,
and themselves. Their hearts break when a friend dies.
They have sorrow at the loss of a family member, yet they
are strong when they think there is no strength left.
A woman can make a romantic evening unforgettable.
Women come in all sizes, in all colors and shapes. They
live in homes, apartments and cabins. They drive, fly,
walk, run or e-mail you to show how much they care
about you. The heart of a woman is
what makes the world spin!
Women do more than just give birth. They bring joy
and hope. They give compassion and ideals. They
give moral support to their family and friends. And
all they want back is a hug, a smile and for you to
do the same to people you come in contact with.
TO A PHENOMENAL WOMAN
by Maya Angelou
When I was in my younger days,
I weighed a few pounds less,
I needn't hold my tummy in
To wear a belted dress.
But now that I am older,
I've set my body free;
There's comfort of elastic
Where once my waist would be.
Inventor of those high-heeled shoes
My feet have not forgiven;
I have to wear a nine now,
But used to wear a seven.
And how about those pantyhose--
They're sized by weight, you see,
So how come when I put them on
The crotch is at my knee?
I need to wear these glasses
As the print's been getting smaller;
And it wasn't very long ago
I know that I was taller.
Though my hair has turned to gray
And my skin no longer fits,
On the inside, I'm the same old me,
It's the outside's changed a bit.
But, on a positive note...
I've learned that no matter what happens,
or how bad it seems today,
life does go on, and it will be better tomorrow.
I've learned that you can tell a lot
about a person by the way she
handles these three things:
a rainy day, lost luggage,
and tangled Christmas tree lights.
I've learned that regardless
of your relationship with your parents,
you'll miss them when they're gone from your life.
I've learned that making
a "living" is not the same
thing as making a "life."
I've learned that life
sometimes gives you a second chance.
I've learned that you shouldn't
go through life with a catcher's mitt
on both hands. You need to be able
to throw something back.
I've learned that whenever
I decide something with an open heart,
I usually make the right decision.
I've learned that even when I have pains,
I don't have to be one.
I've learned that every day
you should reach out and touch someone.
People love a warm hug,
or just a friendly pat on the back.
I've learned that I still have a lot to learn.
I've learned that people will forget what you said;
people will forget what you did,
but people will never forget how you made them feel.
(Poem sent to me by my friend, Ellen.)
