The Woman Within

She's there within you.

A cloud floating by, a petal in the stream.

You'll miss her if you aren't careful.

But, if you're looking up, or peering down,

You might just catch a glimpse.

When you feel her peak out, hold on.

I feel her when my motherly instinct kicks in.

I feel her when I cook, as I measure each ingredient with my heart.

I feel her when I'm kind, when I'm humble.

I feel her when I learn.

She is the woman I've always wanted to be.

She is me, if I can only catch up to her.

I chase after each cloud, and try to grasp each petal in the stream.
