»Woman«»Greater than the word great: Woman«
How do I describe ,
I'll take time to scribe,
Beauty beyond what meets the eye,
Hunger that no bread can fill,
In tears you spread a smile
God's grace incarnate
With a burden of your own load
You still say "let me thine hold"...
Love so passionate...yet gentle
Given for nothing in return
Deeper than depth can tell
Almost like a spell
Woman to me you're greater than the word GREAT!
(Inspired by a combination of thoughts I have of my Mother, Vuyo Sybil Mphakalasi and how I see Me, Myself and I)
