I CARRY A NATION IN MY WOMB
I HAVE BEEN CHOSEN AS A CREATOR BY THE CREATOR ---THE ALMIGHTY |
WITHOUT ME
THIS WORLD CANNOT CONTINUE TO EXIST |
YET
I AM SOMETIMES LOOKED UPON AS THE WEAKER
MORE FRAGILE
LESS POWERFUL
OF A UNION |
BUT
I AM THE ONLY ONE WHO CAN CARRY A FUTURE
IN THE VERY RECESSES OF MY WOMB |
ALL CREATIONS WHICH COME FROM HIM
COME THROUGH ME |
YET
MY TRUE STRENGTH IS OFTEN QUESTIONED
SOMETIMES EVEN BY-MYSELF |
THE SPIRIT DANCES WITHIN MY SOUL
AND
I AM EMPOWERED |
MY TEARS MOISTEN THE EARTH
AND
SALT THE ROOTS OF THE TREE OF LIFE |
THROUGHOUT THIS WORLD'S STRUGGLES
I HAVE SAT IN THE BACKGROUND
BUT
I HAVE BEEN THE BACKBONE |
I AM THE NURTURER, THE SOOTHER
AND THE HEALER OF ALL HURTS AND PAINS
EVEN WHEN, I (MYSELF) AM
SUFFERING |
IT IS TRUE
THAT ONCE THE SEED OF LIFE HAS BEEN PLANTED
ITS SUCCESSFUL FERTILIZATION DEPENDS SOLELY ON ANOTHER |
STILL
I AM THE SOWER, THE REAPER
AND FINALLY
THE DELIVERER OF NEW LIFE |
I HAVE NOT MADE THE CHOICE TO WALK ALONE
THROUGHOUT MY LIFE
YET
THIS REALITY HAS SO OFTEN BEEN THRUST UPON ME |
BUT
I HAVE LEARNED
WITH THE ALMIGHTY CONSTANTLY WORKING THROUGH ME |
THAT
I MUST DO WHAT HAS TO BE DONE
TO INSURE THE SURVIVAL OF THOSE
WHOSE VERY BEING
IS DEPENDANT UPON MY INNER STRENGTH |
WHO AM I
YOU MAY BE ASKING
BUT
YOU KNOW ME WELL |
FOR
I HAVE BEEN CHOSEN
AS A CREATOR
BY THE CREATOR
THE ALMIGHTY |
| I AM WOMAN |
