Nature is nature
It is unchanging,
Perfect in every possible way
Nature is a woman, for it gives life
For to be a woman
Is to create life from just a seed
Nothing else holds that power,
Nothing else can take it away
Not you, not me, not anyone else
To be a woman is to be a wonder,
To carry the world in your womb
Every life comes from her
To be a woman is to scream in pain,
Bringing life to the world
Life to nourish,
Life to love
From the fish of the seas,
To the birds of the skies
Life made a choice to come through her
It is unchanging,
Perfect in every possible way
A woman is a woman,
For she gives life
