the woman

 

a strong woman works out, gyms it,

everyday

to build some muscles,

keep her body in shape. . .

but a woman of strength

fosters, creates relationships

to keep her soul hearty, and hale.

a strong woman

is never afraid, terrified of anything. . .

but a woman of strength

shows courage, audacity

in the midst of her fear and dread.

  a strong woman

won't let anyone get the best of her,

make her break. . .

but a woman of strength

gives the best of herself to everyone,

till it sometimes, hurts.

a strong woman

makes mistakes, errs

and avoids the same in the future. . .

a woman of strength 

realizes life's mistakes,

can also be unexpected blessings, miracles

and capitalizes on them.

a strong woman

wears a look of confidence

a mask on her face. . .

but a woman of strength

wears elegance, grace.

a strong woman 

has faith that she is strong, tough, sturdy

enough for the journey. . .

but a woman of strength

has faith that it is in the journey

that she will become strong.

i love the woman

i see in the mirror. . .

sometimes strong,

a lot of times, of strength.
