They think I'm telling lies. <br />I say, <br />It's in the depth of my words <br />The smile on my face, <br />The reach of my deeds, <br />The grace of my gaze. <br />I'm a woman <br />Phenomenally. <br />Phenomenal woman, <br />That's me. <br /> <br />I walk into a room <br />Just as cool as you want, <br />And to a man, <br />The fellows stand <br />Salute me in awe. <br />Then they stand before me, <br />With folded hands. <br />I say, <br />It's the fire in my eyes, <br />And the love in my sight, <br />And the flowers in my hair, <br />That gives them delight. <br />I'm a woman <br />Phenomenally. <br />Phenomenal woman, <br />That's me. <br /> <br />Men themselves have wondered <br />What they see in me. <br />They try so much <br />But they can't touch <br />My inner mystery. <br />When I try to show them <br />They say they still can't see. <br />I say, <br />It's the march of my smell, <br />The sun of my smile, <br />The arch of my eye-brows, <br />The spirit of my self. <br />I'm a woman <br />Phenomenally. <br />Phenomenal woman, <br />That's me. <br /> <br />Now you understand <br />Just why my head's not bowed. <br />I don't shout or jump about <br />Or have to talk real loud. <br />When you see me passing <br />It ought to make you proud. <br />I say, <br />It's in the warmth of my care, <br />The love of my touch, <br />the palm of my hand, <br />The need of my care. <br />'Cause I'm a woman <br />Phenomenally. <br />Phenomenal woman, <br />That's me. <br /> <br />******************* <br /> <br />-TBT<br /><br />TheBigThinkg Human<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-pheonomenal-woman-tbt-version/
