The woman I met yesterday
By: Gladys Nomvuyo Sebeko
LET ME TELL YOU ABOUT THE WOMAN I MET YESTERDAY
She had a smile of a queen and the breath of a princess
Her face was like an ocean with hair like the sunset
Her body so perfect like the clear blue sky
LET ME TELL YOU ABOUT THE WOMAN I MET YESTERDAY
She had strong but gentle hands with a warm touch
With athletic legs covered in olive oil
Her eyes so bright they made the room shine
LET ME TELL YOU ABOUT THE WOMAN I MET YESTERDAY
Her face told a story of a thousand years
And her laugh, shed tears of sorrow
Her arms looked like they could carry a village
LET ME TELL YOU ABOUT THE WOMAN I MET YESTERDAY
Her cheeks where full of pain, her lips were full of fear
Her hands were full of anger, her eyes had no soul
And her legs had no strength
LET ME TELL YOU ABOUT THE WOMAN I MET YESTERDAY
She wanted to talk but was told to listen
She wanted to cry but was told that crying is a sign of weakness
Her legs wanted to run but she was told that a WOMAN must not run away, but fight till the end.
YESTERDAY I MET A MODERN DAY WOMAN.
