Come walk with me
I want to feel the sun on my face
while I listen to your stories
I want to link my arm with yours and put my head on your shoulder
Strong woman
Be strong so I can admire you
Show me you are intelligent, articulate, and independent
I will scribble things you say on scraps of paper
You are a living example of who I could be
Strong woman
Please do the things that I am cannot
Let the wind be your hair dresser
Smile to show off your wrinkles
Hold your head high and don't wonder what your butt looks like in those jeans
Strong woman
Speak!
Don't tippy toe around and worry about offending people
Cut through the layers of what's culturally acceptable and what's real
Show me how to do this too
Strong woman
Let me spill my soul on you
Can you catch all the pieces and tell me what I mean?
Can you see me for who I really am?
Can you love me and hold me while I cry?
Strong woman
There's a place for you in my life
A place for brunch at the coffee shop
A place on my shelf for books you've recommended
A place in my heart for your warmth
Strong woman
Why am I a strong woman?
