Strong Woman: Poem

  

Strong Woman

A kind woman once asked,

How can you be so gentle

In the world so harsh? –

When you are strong inside,

You can afford to be soft outside.

Then she decided,

I can stand by you, internal

As you can take my breath away.

She is strong,

Proud and stubborn.

It was too long

As she used to do things alone.

Even the strong woman

Needs a strong shoulder

That gives orders

And takes care of a strong woman.

A strong shoulder

To cry and to love

With her gentleness and softness,

And sweet kindness

Always to give to the core.

The strong woman needs

A strong man that lives

Inside her heart,

Who always knows and feels

How to make her strong

From inside her heart

To survive on the soft inside

And be gentle outside.

In the world so harsh,

She decides

To stand by a strong man

That takes her breath away.
