In case you need some help, here’s a reminder with “Phenomenal Woman” by Maya Angelou:
“Pretty women wonder where my secret lies. I’m not cute or built to suit a fashion model’s size. But when I start to tell them, They think I’m telling lies. I say It’s in the reach of my arms, The span of my hips, The stride of my step, The curl of my lips. I’m a woman Phenomenally.
Phenomenal woman, That’s me.
I walk into a room Just as cool as you please, And to a man, The fellows stand or Fall down on their knees. Then they swarm around me, A hive of honey bees. I say It’s the fire in my eyes, And the flash of my teeth, The swing in my waist, And the joy in my feet. I’m a woman.
Phenomenally.
Phenomenal woman. That’s me.
Men themselves have wondered, What they see in me. They try so much, But they can’t touch My inner mystery. When I try to show them, They say they still can’t see. I say It’s in the arch of my back, The sun of my smile, The ride of my breasts, The grace of my style. I’m a woman. Phenomenally.
Phenomenal woman,
That’s me.
Now you understand, Just why my head’s not bowed. I don’t shout or jump about, Or have to talk real loud.
When you see me passing, It ought to make you proud. I say It’s in the click of my heels, The bend of my hair, the palm of my hand The need for my care. ’Cause I’m a woman. Phenomenally.
Phenomenal woman,
That’s me.”
You are a Phenomenal Woman. Today, tomorrow and always.
