The Power of a Woman

She rises before anyone else in the house

to feed the pets

start the coffee

pack the lunches

and make sure that everyone else gets up 

and ready and out the door.

The power of a woman is shown in her commitment to nurturing and caring for herself and others.

Someone once said, “Whatever you give her, she transforms.”

Give her a house, and she gives you a home.

Give her flour, and she gives you bread.

Give her affection, and she gives you devotion.

Give her seeds, and she gives you a garden.

Give her another kind of seed, and she gives you life.

Is there anything that illustrates the power of a woman more than her ability to bring new life into the world?

Even in this modern world, we are all born of a woman.

No matter what happened after, for months, she carried you inside her

Using her cells to develop your cells

And sacrificing her body to bring yours to life.

Can there be anything more powerful than that? Than transforming what she’s given into something worth so much more?

The power of a woman is not found in her appearance, traits, or body. Not really. The power of a woman exists in her soul. 

It cannot be contained.

It cannot be eliminated.

Your words and actions can dim her power, but you cannot stop it from being. You cannot stop it from existing within her.

The power of a woman is infinite. The power of a woman is creation. The power of a woman is life.
