A strong woman

is one who feels deeply
and loves fiercely.
Her tears flow just
as abundantly as her laughter.
She is not afraid to be afraid.

A strong woman

is both soft and powerful.
She takes compliments to heart
and treats herself
like the queen that she is.

A strong woman

is equally visionary and decisive.
She is able to hope
when things look hopeless.
She is both practical and spiritual.

A strong woman

in her essence
is a gift to all the world.
