They Said...You Are Woman

They said... You are Woman ...
Go out and conquer the world

They said - be strong
Don't betray your Sisters
You don't need a man

You are sufficient unto yourself

They said - be strong Don't
betray your Sisters
You don't need a man
You are sufficient unto yourself

They told me 'submissive' is wrong
...and degrading
that I need bow to no man
I lived that truth
Strong,
Independent, Intelligent, Capable,
In Charge, In Control...


Until - a new truth

You told me - you are woman
...Go out and  conquer the world
Then come home and sit at my feet

You said - come to me in strength and I will protect you
and celebrate
your strength

You said - kneel before me give
my your woman's body for my pleasure
and I will raise you from kneeling
...to heights you never imagined

You said - let me into those
locked rooms
...give me access
Trust Me with every part of you
...and I will treasure it all

You said - there are more truths
in this world,
...and revealed them to me
and because of you

...I am forever changed
