Not really poetry

So its not really poetry, just a personal reminder of the kind of woman I want to be.

 

The Kind of Woman I Want to Be

 

 

The kind of woman I want to be is the kind of woman who savors life like a good wine.

 

The kind of woman who knows her own style and what that really is, and for whom class means more than textbooks and grades.

 

I want to be the kind of woman who listens to others and can take it all in and then speak concisely and intelligently upon it.

 

I want to be the kind of woman who when she walks into a room, business will be begin , creativity will flow, and ideas will grow.

 

I want to be the kind of woman who has not forgotten the meaning of respect. I want to be the kind of woman who commands the respect of others, not through demand, but through the action of delivering.

 

I want to be the kind of woman who uses words as her weapon of choice. Not to hurt, but to reveal to the world that eyes need to be opened and fires need to be lit. I want to be the kind of woman who knows how to extinguish the useless fires and how to light her own.

 

I want to be the woman who is comfortable walking into the symphony in a formal gown as she is walking in jeans into the steakhouse. I want to be the woman who accepts others as they are, and who is accepted by most others.

 

The kind of woman I want to be will walk away from nastiness with grace, and who makes others realize that through grace they can achieve their end.

I want to be the woman who can lead by example, who voices her concern, who fights the fight all while maintaining strength, courage, and the ability to know when there are things I simply cannot change.

 

Most of all I want to be a woman with humility, understanding, and a woman who with compassion sees the hearts of people. I want to be the kind of woman who can see need and create action to remedy the need. I want to be the kind of woman for whom the word humanity is not just another entry in the dictionary.

OWB I love this! Very well worded.

I think I will keep this, if you don't mind, as a reminder of who I want to become.

I liked that. Mine is pretty simple.

 

I want to be the kind of woman who can rise to the occasion, handle adversity with grace, be kind to those in need, and make her dreams come true.

Very articulate OWB!!!

 

If i could be two or three (or am) out the hundred positive points you've listed, well, i'd be content.

Thank you ladies, I really appreciate your words. I just got to thinking how I am at this point right now where I am at the start of something. That led me to think about where I want to go and what I want to become, and who I want to be when I get there. Well then you have the rest. Ideally if I could be all those things, wow, that would be great. If I could pick only one, it would be the last one.

 

Yes of course Angel, by all means keep it. I am going to print it out and put it in my school things as a reminder of why I am working so hard.

 

Ready, I love your statement! It's fantastic.
