Poem: Forgive Me Sister

Forgive me sister! Swear to womanhood

they don’t know this gem of being you

whose name is miracle

You’re a sister

a mother

a daughter

a woman

the one who did not buy "fear"

the one who stood on the mountain

showed that being a woman is higher than a miracle

Forgive me sister! Swear to womanhood

they don’t know anything about being you

whose image in the mirror of the world

most unknown of all

is you
