Every Strong Woman

Every strong woman knows her price...
And she flutters her wings toward bright aspirations.
She walks the world with an ethereal grace.
Though she is strong, she is fragile and tender.

Every strong woman hides her tears.
She shows no weakness, no fear to anyone.
She grieves in solitude. She weeps in whispers.
She dwells only with herself in impenetrable dark...

Any strong woman would hazard a hundred risks
for her beloved, for her people...
She gives her heart without asking return.
Even broken, she remains dignified and proud.

In every strong woman's life...the hardest truth---
Though she is strong, she is fragile, fragile, fragile...
She will not wait to become unwanted; she does not beg for love.
Her heels are wearing thin...She is leaving...
