Tackling life’s seasons of change with new strength and hope may not be easy for every woman. However, for those who have embraced the power and beauty of change, every change is a new level of self-discovery, harmony, and balance.

She sets her face as a flint

With new strength and courage

Towards her set goals

Never to look back at the pains of yesteryears

The twin sisters of sweat and tears

Now too heavy a burden to carry

They just might drain the life out of her

Now it is a new dawn

And she is poised for life anew

Laced with laughter and memories sweet

And you can take a guess why

A woman of strength, destiny, and purpose

She took the world by storm

Now she can ride powerfully in the storms

Once her dreams she handed to others in a haze

Now she steps into her destiny with giant strides

Once she walked in the shadows of her purpose

Now she wittily navigates her way into center stage

She welcomes every change with an eagle’s foresight

She is a Renaissance woman!

Who knows with all certainty

That Change is as beautiful as she is

For without change, there would be no butterflies.

    Awesome poem Deeda . The benefits of aging are only found in later years until that time women are just in training for what is to come.

    Very well said. Also, there is an essence, a sense of worldliness in a woman who has turned 50. They just seem at ease and have reached a level of maturity that I personally find reassuring and comforting.

    WE must welcome change in our seasons of life with such expectancy as beholding the colorful beauty of butterflies.
