( 17 Votes )Never underestimate me
Never doubt that I can accomplish what I say I will do
Never think I am not smart, intelligent or witty
I am all of these things
I am a WOMAN.
Do not think I have nothing to contribute to this world
I will contribute more than some do in a lifetime
Do not think I am someone to be discarded with age
I will with age be witty, smart and have wisdom
I am a WOMAN.
Never try to tell me this is a "man's world"
Women have contributed to this world for centuries
In life, in death, in famines and war
I will give of myself - my life and my love
I am a WOMAN.
Do not tell me I am worthless to society
Because I am divorced, or widowed and alone
Women alone can accomplish much in their solitude
Finding out who they are-or what they can become
I am a WOMAN.
Do not pity me for the wrinkles of time
For time has given these for being a survivor
A womans' true beauty lives inside the heart
You cannot judge me by age-for true beauty is ageless
I am a WOMAN.
Never tell me what I can and cannot do
Because I'm no longer young-doesn't mean I am worthless
A womans' determination can make her soar to new heights
A woman with determination can conquer all fear
I am a WOMAN.
Do not tell I'm not sexy or appealing with age
For with age I have learned I'm as sexy as anyone
A womans' grace and self-confidence gives sex appeal
I have learned what sexy is and what it is not
I am a WOMAN.
Never underestimate what I can do or become-
You may just be surprised..
I am proud to be a
