Like A Zebra

This poem came to me when I was thinking about  the issues women have with their bodies. How unhappy and insecured they feel about themselves especially when they become mothers!   Those changes that come after having children.

Well, these are my thoughts…

I have lines like a zebra

Beautiful lines that tells a story

A beautiful story I’m proud to share

Proud to share my achievement

An achievement that comes with pains

Pains that I pray to experience

An experience that begins with an action

An action that ends with passion

A passion that is so strong

So strong that it gives a seed

A seed that germinates into life

A life that grows in 9 months

9 months of development and changes

Beautiful changes on my body

Beautiful lines like that of a zebra

Lines I’m not ashamed of

Because of my achievement

An achievement of bringing another life

Another life that has an opportunity

An opportunity to tell a story

A beautiful story all over again

Like a zebra

I have earned my lines

I am not afraid

I am not ashamed

I am a woman

I am a mother

I am beautiful

Like a zebra

Please share if you are beautiful and proud to be a woman or mother.
