Woman I am

By Mariatha Causway
Aka Jennifer Thomas

I am woman
I am built strongly
Specifically
To ride on the emotional waves
Of my love
On the tides of child bearing culture boxFor woman I am
I am built uniquely
Individually
To carry my femininity
Across the threshold
Of my creativity
To do so universally
I am built fashionably
Regally
To exhibit my curves
To represent womanhood
‘Wholesomely
In everything I do
I am built tenderly
Lovingly
To suckle my young ones
With care
To be a presentation of motherhood
To the children of the world
I am built softly
Caringly
To empower my universal sisters
To encourage and uplift them
To showcase our unique artistry
I am built provocatively
Womanly
To couple with my husband
Lovingly
To produce
My family
I am built constructively
Powerfully
To function equally
Womanly
In creating a better world
Globally
