Woman stands at the top of Creation, giving birth to life
As a mother and a wife to the world
There is strength in her softness and knowledge in her touch
Woman is the warmth at home we love so much
Woman is the heart of Creation
From her body life flows and her children are those loving life
Woman gives her love and strength to everything that lives
And the more she gives the more she seems to have to give
So deep is the river of woman
Her swift current maintains and swells to capture all the rains
But still she flows
The joy of being a woman lies in the knowledge unfurled that
The hand that rocks the cradle truly rules the world
