I Am The Way

by Remedios Dorio

 

I am a woman; I am the way.

I am the nest, for a gene to nee.

 

I am glad; I am happy.

I am a mother, for a gene to survive.

 

I am satisfied; I am contented.

I am a teacher, guiding a gene to live.

 

I may have my life gambled,

I may have my life offered,

I may have my life sacrificed,

But I felt honored that I am the way.

 

I am the way, for a gene to nee,

I am the way, for a gene to survive,

I am the way, for a gene to live,

I am the way, for life’s continuity!
