Stages

Women in Stages

Woman

Girl

Young, thin, firm, startling beauty

Naïve, immature, trusting, loving, happy

Smart…in school

Young Woman

Still young, built, fiiine!

Not-so-naïve, maturing, questioning

Looking-for-love, fun loving

Smarter…in life

Woman

Young-looking, still built, staying toned

Sassy, confident, mature, answering

Loving herself, full of fun

Wise

Old Woman

Young-for-her-age, fit, comfortable

Witty, still confident, more mature

Giving love, funny

Wiser

Still Woman

More Woman

Always Woman!

(Women, in a lot of societies, are criticized, under appreciated, expected to be perfect and discarded after they are perceived to be no longer so. So I wrote this poem to uphold women at any stage of life. We bring life, nurture life, and prolong life. We are necessary/important/magnificent/perfect until the end!!). We are life!)
