Phenomenal Woman
PHENOMENAL WOMAN
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 of my care,
'Cause I'm a woman
Phenomenally.
Phenomenal woman,
That's me.

The title of this blog is just one of the many things I have learned from my new friend.... excuse me, I mean boyfriend. While'st during my stay in
If you actually know me, you know well enough that for a long time I have been wanting, desperately, to meet a "real man". . . well I finally did. This man has done more with his twenty five years of life, than most people EVER do with their entire lives. I don’t even have time to get into it, but the most important aspect of his abilities, is that he has every quality I have ever asked for in a man. Even the bonus qualities I didn’t think I would ever really find, such as singing, dancing, AND cooking! (and the list goes on and on)
But I digress, (kind of) I am blissfully happy with him. And for those of you wondering I am currently living in southern
I went to
I gotta admit, it’s partially fun to be back in the real world with internet and phone service… but it was also a lot of fun to be up in the mountains where I was unreachable.
That's all the time I have to write now as dinner is wafting in deliciously from the kitchen.
Hope everyone has been well in my absence.
Love and peace,
