Woman Will Win

Where I’m from, Men ruled
Till the first girl came with a brain
The next followed with a better will, and
the last exchanged hers for a library
If given room, she can build a house
It’s pure magic, a woman’s will
Given the right match, she makes fire
I never saw Mama got beat down
She took everything with grace
Forgiveness is easier than hate
Letting go works better than speaking up
I have seen love cleanse and heal
I have seen hate do worse than the abuse
Woman is how you spell strength.
