What does it take to be a woman?

Oh well, it has been more than two decades since my existence on earth. And just like all other people I have had my bit of share.

And now that I'm approaching my next birthday I find it essential to lighten up myself a little.

So someone just asked me what does it take to be a woman?

So here's my answer:

Elegant on the surface from tip to toe.
Gleaming like sunshine wherever she goes.
Yeah, that's a woman, and a lady too.




Running her fingers through the streak of gold.
Holding her head all strong and bold.
Yes, that's a woman, and a lady too.

You watch her sway from right to left.
And sometimes be happy with the naughty winks you get.

And then when she smiles and looks at your eye.
It melts your heart like an ice cream pie.

She laughs, she grins and rattles.
But why can't you handle her when she battles.

Is it because she is a woman and a lady?
Isn't she expected to show her anger or be moody?

Come on now don't be so judgmental,
Remember the times when you held her gentle.
Don't be so mean, don't be so rude.
Everybody hurts and cries, ain't it dude?

So now you tell her to never step alone.
Does it mean you will follow and chase her like a clone?
Do you mean she is only possession or a commodity?
That she is going to bear all that and suffer the tragedy.

So you have forgotten the times that you have spent.
The beautiful days that just went.
Won't you like to hold and love her still?
Remember the dinner when she split the bill?

She is a lady, she is no longer a girl
If you don't trust, watch her eyebrows curl.

I bet; still, you love her but won't just say.
Fearing all the bad stuff and the price that you have to pay.

Oh right that now she is gone away, far from you.
Never coming back or showing up no matter what you do.

She is a woman, she is a lady.
Just the way she was wanted by her daddy.
He loved her always and never let her go.
The one guy who would happily have her bow.
And with all the chiding and all the pry.
She is strong and going to give life a try.
Geared with strength and the love she beholds.
With the best from a family who would never let her be cold.

Ohh yes, that's the love we are talking about... not the prince, or the king kind
But about the brother who would always stand beside her without a mind.

Then the care of a sister that cannot be explained.
The messy times and messy hair that needs togetherness to be maintained.

Ahh well, this and that will keep happening.
But in the end its the mother who will fix her alright just like she did since the day of the beginning.

If you are a woman, I bet you will know it too, what it takes to be a woman and a lady also.
