Phenominal Woman

I was reading some of my favorite poetry and wanted to post one with I really love and find such an inspiration everytime I read it. I think any woman who reads this poem has to feel beautiful, important and with a great sense of selfworth.

Phenominal Woman

Pretty women wonder where my
secret lies.
I'm not cute or build to suit a fashion
model's size
but when I start to tell them,
They think I'm telling lies.
I say,
It's in the reach of my arms
The span of my step,
The curl of my lips.
I'm woman
Phenomenally.
Phenomenal woman,
That's me.

I walk into a room
just as cool as you please,
and to a man,
The fellows stand or
Fall down on their knees.
Then they swarm around me,
A hive of honey bees.
I say,
It's the fire in my eyes,
And the flash of my teeth,
The swing in my waits,
And the joy in my feet.
I'm a woman
Phenomenally.
Phenomenal woman,
Tha's me.

Men themselves have wondered,
What they see in me.
The try so much
But they can't touch
My inner mystery.
When I try to show them
The say they still can't see.
I say,
It's the arch of my back,
The sun of my smile,
The ride of my breast,
The grace of my style.
I'm a woman
Phenomenally.
Phenomenal Woman,
That's me.

Now you understand
just why my head's not bowed.
I don't shout or jump about
Or have to talk real loud.
When you see me passing
It ought to make you proud.
I say,
It's in the click of my heels,
The bend of my hair,
The palm of my hand,
The need of my care.
Cause I'm a woman
Phenomenally.
Phenomenal Woman,
That's me.
