I Am a Woman

I've been reading this book by Elizabeth Elliot called, Let Me Be A Woman. This woman amazes me... and her words are so strong and wise. This is a poem that has flowed out of me recently; I'm sure as a result. Very raw... not at all refined. I'm open to suggestions and can use all the encouragement you are willing to offer :) Thanks my dear friends & yet to be ones!


I Am a Woman
---

I am a woman don't mistake me for an Angel


I am a woman don't mistake me for a God


I am a woman don't mistake me for your Savior


I am a woman don't mistake me for a Saint


I am a woman

They say God took me out of man
and to him I return
with him I want to stand
Don't follow me, I am not your Savior
but, if you want me, I will be your helper

I am a woman
there are ways you make me weak
but I can, yet, add strength to your strength
as I seek the God you seek

I am a woman
please don't make me lead
I want to follow
but, you can give ear to me

together we will learn this dance
together we'll listen to the melody
Let’s take a twirl
Let’s take this world
Just take my hand, let’s see

I am a woman
my softness is my strength
in my arms may you find comfort
in my words a warm embrace

I am a woman
Don't make me be a man
I am a woman
This is where I stand
