MY WORLD

What do I care for Riches and Rights?

Why should I yearn for freedom and might?

What would I do with my share and birthright?

To me it is naught....

IF....

I have your love,

To respect, regard,and honour

The many roles I assume

As sister, wife, mother,

As academic, career woman, or any other,

To cherish, value and treasure,

My life that I give to you....

My mind, my hands, my feet, my womb,

My waking hours, my many moods,

My pain and my sorrows,

My smiles and my laughter,

My songs and stories,

For,

You are my world, and this is my universe!
