She is a Woman

a poem by Maryse Saldanha

She has a kind heart
She has love, she has care
There may be thorns a many
She will pull out with care
She will ask not for much
If you fill her with your love
She will treat you well
Sometimes she will break your heart

She will hold your hand and teach you to walk
She will hold your hand with you to walk
She will hold your hand lest you stumble and fall
She will hold you in her heart
Long after you’ve gone

She will nurse you when ill
When low she will stay by your side
She will shed a tear for sad moments gone by
She will often forgive all the times you failed
She can make you cry or put all worry at bay

She is your mother or sister
Your spouse or your girl friend
She is your daughter, your neighbour
A stranger or a friend
She will make you laugh
She will make you cry
She is woman to love
She is woman who gives life
