Versatile this woman is

Everything, this woman can be

Never limited to one ability

Never limited to what the eye can see

Beauty in the versatility of me

I’m in love with the poetry I can be

The journey is not a destination, but a lifelong adventure. Pray to be led down the right path every day.

SOAR IN YOUR SORROWS FLOW IN YOUR BLESSINGS.
