I am a woman soft and gentle within depths of my soul
I wonder ..will i be lonesome for someone to stroll
I hear lonely whispers in the wind of the night
I see shadows hiding behind the veil of moonlight
I want to be a drummer..not beneath a drummers roll
I am a woman soft and gentle within depths of my soul

I pretend i do not hurt when my heart is teased
I feel invisible within the whispers of the breeze
I touch with my heart..pain and hurt i have tasted
I worry that my love and passion will be wasted
I cry that someday age and time will take its toll
I am a woman soft and gentle within depths of my soul

I understand that love must flow freely like the tides
I say let the waves of my feelings be my guide
I dream that one day someone will totally love me
I try to have the strength and courage if needed to plea
I hope someday i find a peace within and  feel whole
I am a woman soft and gentle within depths of my soul

Reminds me of, "I am Woman hear me roar!!!"  Written from the depth of a feminine soul expressing your virtues of womanhood.  I love the strength of your words in this poem.  Great job meeting the challenge!   Bob <><
