For all the women in the world – sisters, mothers, daughters, and wives:
Blessed be my brain
that I may conceive of my own power.
Blessed be my breast
that I may give sustanence to those I love.
Blessed be my womb
that I may create what I chose to create.
Blessed be my knees
that I may bend so as not to break.
Blessed be my feet
that I may walk in the path of my highest will.

Simple is truth, in its naked affirmations, to be visible is to be alive, to know thyself a blessing! Excellent poem and wordage. Thanks for sharing. Keep writing.
