LE FEMME
Her eyes are the first to catch attention. From them shines firmness and steadfastness. She is a woman whose beauty is from the heart. She is proud of her heritage, of her land and people; and of her femininity. She has the courage to speak her mind; yet, with self-regard and consideration of others. She possesses the strength of honor, loyalty, and dignity of an honest day's work. When she returns to the state of helplessness each night she has no fear of the unknown; for the works of her hands have been humble and without shame. __________________________________ Copyright © Niyna DeSangre w2010 Vote for this poem
