She has many difference faces, shapes, sizes and colours. Somedays, she’s stylish; other times, she’s ‘unique’.
She has a heart, often made of solid gold. She works to love those around her, from the depths of her very being. One should avoid double-crossing her, however, because she will rear her head and fire her venom before you can blink. As deeply as she loves, she abhors unfairness and injustice too. She works hard to rectify wrong doings.
She has eyes that she guards heavily with thin veils. While she’s discerning enough to read you in just one glance, she strives to keep her eyes clear and void of her true sentiments. Life is about you and what she can give. She doesn’t want it to be about her. Her bravado is on full display to erase the fear from your eyes…and hers.
She’s a spinner—always turning the tables, deflecting the attention from herself. Accolades and pomp are so rare that it’s uncomfortable to be the center of attention. In a little micro-inch of her heart, she’d like to learn how to accept these niceties with the grace they deserve, but she doesn’t know how. Or rather, if truth be told, she never takes the time to try and learn how. She figures it’d be much easier to smile and nod. Hug, when appropriate and maybe even shed a tear.
She is you. Me. Us. Them. The countless women who impact our lives and are the true role models of womanhood. The teachers we can never forget. The caregivers who had the gentlest of touches. The nurturers who fed us with much-needed, God-sent encouragement at the *perfect* moment. The blogger who penned that post. You know the one– whether it made you laugh, cry, contemplate the meaning of life. Or all three at the exact same time.
