Phenomenal Woman

I am proud of who and what I have become. Driving through the fog. There were times I couldn't see what was in front of me. It was then I had to remain focus and concentrate on my destiny. I knew that I was going somewhere and I was intent on arriving to my destination. I am so glad I didn't allow the storms to keep me immobile.


To make a long story short. I did arrived at the place I wanted to be, it was there I was able to get some answers. Some I liked, some I didn't not. In the end, I had to make some decision for myself. To live or to give up. You see, contrary to popular belief, happiness is a choice that we ALL must make. I chose. :)

Here is my tribute all the phenomenal women out there!  Dr. Maya Angelou's poem: Phenomenal Woman.

Pretty women wonder where my secret lies.
I'm not cute or built to suit a fashion model's size
But when I start to tell them,
They think I'm telling lies.
I say,
It's in the reach of my arms
The span of my hips,
The stride of my step,
The curl of my lips.
I'm a woman
Phenomenally.
Phenomenal woman,
That's me.

I walk into a room
Just as cool as you please,
And to a man,
The fellows stand or
Fall down on their knees.
Then they swarm around me,
A hive of honey bees.
I say,
It's the fire in my eyes,
And the flash of my teeth,
The swing in my waist,
And the joy in my feet.
I'm a woman
Phenomenally.
Phenomenal woman,
That's me.

Men themselves have wondered
What they see in me.
They try so much
But they can't touch
My inner mystery.
When I try to show them
They say they still can't see.
I say,
It's in the arch of my back,
The sun of my smile,
The ride of my breasts,
The grace of my style.
I'm a woman

Phenomenally.
Phenomenal woman,
That's me.

Now you understand
Just why my head's not bowed.
I don't shout or jump about
Or have to talk real loud.
When you see me passing
It ought to make you proud.
I say,
It's in the click of my heels,
The bend of my hair,
the palm of my hand,
The need of my care,
'Cause I'm a woman
Phenomenally.
Phenomenal woman,
That's me.
