She...

She is....
She is delicate...
She is vulnerable...
But
But there lies her strength...
A level of exquisiteness...
A sense of subtlety...
in her fragility...
in her frailty...
She is delicate...
She is vulnerable...
But there lies her strength...
An altitude of resilience...
in her vulnerability...
And
that is her forte...
her magnanimity...
She is delicate...
She is vulnerable...
But there lies her strength... in her delicacy...in her vulnerability...

Thanks dear
I always feel, we can convert our so called weakness into our strength...We should have the ability to turn the situation to our favor.
Thank you for your support.

Beautiful poem
Dear Nusrat,
I love your poem!! So beautiful, so strong, so true!! I have often thought how our strengths and weaknesses can be the same thing. And that sometimes our blessings can turn into curses. It all depends on how we use them. Your poem reflects that idea so perfectly... so positively. I look forward to seeing more of your work. Thanks for sharing!
Peace and Blessings,

Thank you so much Amena!
Dear Amena,
Thanks dear for your kind words. It means a lot. I completely agree with your idea, yes, our blessings can be converted to curses if we use it wrongly. You know, years back when I was a kid, a teacher of mine had written in my scarp book 'do your best with whatever you have and wherever you are'. This has been a great inspiration to me throughout my life. Although this statement is a commonly used one but I often remember it in various situations. It also holds good here with a unique context. So what 'woman' word is associated with delicate and vulnerable, thats our greatest strength and it is proven in this world by many of us, in every aspect of life. Is not the most beautiful 'pearl' is also associated with a sense of delicateness and its priceless too!!!
luv and peace
