Hail to my nature!


Hail to my nature! And your nature too :-) Hail to being who I am And hail for you being you!

She wished my mother would birth to a boy! "Grandma! Would a grandson, be better than I?"
"I just want you to have a good strong man brother"

"That one over there! How skilled he is in every way?!
You are no less...but you don't show it!"

Around the corner is a neighbour, she is a beauty and a dare!
"Freedom is to be able to do it all!", she told me encouraging me to break free!

I respect being a female grandma. Perhaps I shed more tears, than my brother; and I even sympathise more! It is my nature and I respect! Sometimes I am more sensitive, than I should be.
But that is just part of being me!

Perhaps, I am more skilled than he.
But display is not the job for me.

Am not a prisoner pal! I am just who I am.
I wake up each morning; embrace myself and smile my way to a new day.
I need not conform to anyone but me!
Will not be a prisoner of loving to show the world what they want to see of me!

My nature is my job!
To work on a weakness here!
Empower a strength there!

I am strong when I respect my nature!

Do I have time to cry over what I was not given,
When I have a whole world to explore

What I should be is not what someone sees of me
But what my nature entails me!

GOD GAVE me this nature.
Some raw material to sculpture!
That is my job.
Hail to being who I could!
