Celebrating Womanhood

I'm celebrating womanhood today.

Here are a few pictures to inspire you to celebrate too.

This one of Barbra Streisand is my favorite. :)

PHENOMENAL WOMAN -Maya Angelou

Pretty women wonder where my secret lies

I'm not cute or built 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 hips

the stride of my step

the curl of my lips

I'm a 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 to 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 waist

and the joy in my feet

I'm a woman

phenomenally.

Phenomenal woman, that's me.

Men themselves have wondered

what they see in me

They try so much

but they can't touch

my inner mystery.

When I try to show them,

they say they still can't see

I say,

It's the arch of my back

the sun of my smile,

the ride of my breasts

the grace of my style

I am 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.

So go out and celebrate youself, woman.

You are phenomenal. :)
