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.
“For the Lord
shall be thy confidence and shall keep thy foot from being taken”- Prov. 3:26
“There is
nothing more rare or more beautiful, than a woman being unapologetically
herself; comfortable in her perfect imperfection. T o me, that is the true
essence of beauty”- Steve Maraboli
