Exceptional Woman
Why, in order to have what pleases
Would an Exceptional Woman sacrifice
Self-Respect
DIGNITY?
What she is worth!
Exceptional Woman
Built from the stones thrown her way
Fortified with the mortar of experiences
That make her worth it all
She
Will elevate
She
Will give until there is not much left for her
Exceptional Woman
Is so selfless
That she will hold her head high
While down trodden
Bathe in sweet smells
Apply balm to her skin
Make up her face to hide
Daily pain
Exceptional Woman
Will share her life
Move heaven to feed your earth
Will harvest the field she plants
For love
She
Will even close her eyes
To her self-respect
Her pride
Tucking ego away for the sake
Of love
For a time
But she will not sacrifice her entirety
Lest she fade away into less than
The Whore of Babylon
She
Is
Way too
Exceptional a woman for that
Even if she is not found exceptional by you
Time runs its course
She awakens to find within herself
The Exceptional Woman
Worth it all
Yes. She is worth it all!
She nourishes you with pure water from her cup
You drink as you please
Refill what you drink
Or be honorable and pass the cup!
