A Strong Woman

Time to grab myself up by my bootstraps, and get on with life, 

go back to being the Strong Woman that I can be.  

To do things I haven't done before, 

to step out, reach out, and do my own thing.

Being strong and independent isn't always easy.  

Sometimes its very lonely.  

But it has its own rewards.  

I don't answer to anyone, come and go as I please.

But the one thing a Strong Woman knows is when to choose to hang on, and when to let go.
She knows that she can still have her feelings and let them simmer in the background.
She knows she doesn't have to act on them, and knows they won't interrupt her life.
She chooses wisely when the time comes for romance in her life again.
She doesn't forget that she has needs, and she takes care of herself.
A Strong Woman knows that her day in the sun will come, and bides her time patiently.

and I am a Strong Woman. 
It's Time.  
My Time.
