I stand unashamed,
unbowed and unafraid.
Timeless I remain.
A steely strength
soft to the touch.
Unbroken in a world
that breaks so much.
A free spirit in a land
that boxes up dreams.
A heart so full
it bursts at the seams.
Many crave my touch
but I will have only one
and true I will be
'til my last day is done.
There is grace in my step
strength in my stride,
a smile on my lips
and a fire in my eyes.
I am both a taker
and giver of pleasure.
I have warmth and wisdom
far beyond measure.
Hold me if you like.
Love me if you dare.
Leave me if you must,
but no one will compare.

Excellent statement, Stacy.  Certainly a good read, and I like the fiery tempo that I pulled out of the text.  Great write!

This is a very cool write...
strong in spirit...
so good to see your name here again TA  

Well tomorrow holds only mystery
And who's to say what might be
But in you I found a love so strong
The sun and the moon looked on in jealousy
