She is fierce, but she is also kind.
She is a fortress, but she will let you in.
She is grasping, but she is willing to give.
She jumps hurdles, but she steadily stays the course.
Her abilities are impressive, but she is the embodiment of humility.
She remains true to herself, but she loves others wholeheartedly.
She cries sometimes, but her laughter cannot be contained.
She will perplex you, but she has all the answers.
You cannot help but admire her, love her and respect her.
She is woman.
