I Am Woman

by Chelle Wood - Cancer

I am infant
Soft and fragile, 
innocent and pure of mind and heart
I am child
Playing hopscotch 
and making finger-paint works of art

I am daughter
Living in a world of make believe 
with Daddy slaying dragons in his suit of armor
I am sister
Who rivals for attention 
and tells pinkie swear secrets with her word of honor

I am lover
Bold, daring and vivacious 
yet gentle, caring and sure
I am wife
Always knowing what's expected, 
making home a haven, safe and secure

I am mother 
Able to dry tears with a kiss 
and make monsters disappear with a light
I am friend
Knowing when to keep my distance 
and knowing when to stand my ground and fight

I am woman.....
