I don’t often repost my own stuff but I got behind by a day with this challenge and as it is poetry and I love this poem I wrote I decided to repost this one.
It also fits really well with the O post which I know so many of you really seemed to enjoy.
I would love to know what your favourite poems are either by famous poets or provide a link to your own poem.
The Goddess lies and waits in
Each and every living woman.
As she walks through wind and gale
She does not bow her head.
She looks forever forward
Never dwelling in the past
Facing every challenge
As it crosses in her path.
In young and old alike
She patiently bides her time.
The choice of God irrespective
Her own strength she bestows.
Subserviant to no one
Her worth she full well knows.
Through her many struggles
She gains empathy and strength.
She loves without condition
She is loyalty beyond words.
She shares herself without
A second thought or pause.
And once she gains her freedom
From her slumber deep inside.
The Goddess can be seen
By those that recognise
The dignity, love and grace
That embodies womankind.
