On the Steps

Woman, stand to embrace yourself
For no other person shall you wait
For wise you are, power you hold
And no other person from you shall take

Take this pain, take this shame
No longer shall you be bound
By haunted lies which brings demise
Professing your mind unsound

You have a smile that warms, eyes that comfort
Hands that enchantedly caress
Lips that soothe, with words that move
But your brain trumps the rest.

No fear to show, no tears from woe
For those days are far behind
As this carpet awaits your beauty's debut
Here and now is your time to shine.
