Immersed In Motherhood

A woman's worth
isn't the weight
of her wallet
or size of her purse.

A woman's worth
are cherished friendships
she has and
all the new one's embraced.

A woman's worth
isn't the value
of her house
or style of vehicle.

A woman's worth
are scattered smiles
she gave you
starting at your eyes.

A woman's worth
isn't American Top Model's photos
where everything fits perfectly
and no stretch marks exist.

A woman's worth
are universally diversified
from tall to short
and skinny to pleasantly plump.

A woman's worth
isn't what she gets
paid for
or has a degree for.

A woman's worth
are shown in her child/children's
clean clothes, house, toys,
and lessons taught.

A woman's worth
isn't what you think
or certainly what you expect,
but the value is priceless.

Author's Notes/Comments: 

Inspired by the poem, "Phenomenal Woman" by Maya Angelou, but dedicated to every woman who is a mother or who has one, who deserves recognition!
