Who Is a Woman?

Lotus flower

A Woman’s a Lotus

planted firmly, deep into the water

yet unattached,

her leaves – they float above all.

 

She rises, holding chin up, and smiles through the day.

 

Outside temperature may be 50 degrees Fahrenheit,

but she regulates the temperature of her flowers at 86 degrees Fahrenheit,

bringing warmth to all, regardless of whether related to her by blood or not.

 

She manages, endures, handles, deals, makes decisions, keeps things moving,

as she knows her strength comes from her kindness.

 

Kindness begets further kindness.

 

Gifted with many talents, her strengths far outweigh her weaknesses.

 

Sun sets.

 

Emboldened by her day’s activities, she closes her petals,

doors to the outside world,

for she must take care of the world that lives inside of her.

 

She must rest in peace, to rejoice in her sleep,

and wake up refreshed

for another day of brilliance.

 

She’s a lotus.

She will always be a Lotus.

Ritu Anand

Ritu Anand started writing when she could hold a pencil. She wrote on walls, newspapers, old books, new ones, and even on furniture. Her muse made her do it. These days, when she is not found writing, she is usually found spending time with family, engaging with characters of a novel, teaching elementary students writing skills, or golfing. Ritu lives in Sarasota, Florida with her loving husband. Ritu's debut picture book - KARA'S DREAMS is available for purchase on Barnes & Noble, Amazon, https://rituzastoryteller.com and www.PathBinderPublishing.com.
