Hi All,

Out of the clear blue my daughter sent this to me this morning from
college.  I thought I'd do a little more than 5...

Phenomenal Women (fwd):

      Phenomenal Woman by Maya Angelou

      Pretty women wonder where my secret lies
      I'm not cute or built to suit a models's fashion size
      But when I start to tell them
      They think I'm telling lies.
      I say
      It's in the reach of my arms
      The span of my hips
      The stride of my steps
      The curl of my lips.
      I'm a woman
      Phenomenally
      Phenomenal woman
      That's me.

      I walk into a room
      Just as cool as you please
      And to a man
      The fellows stand or
      Fall down on their knees
      Then they swarm around me
      A hive of honey bees.
      I say
      It's the fire in my eyes
      And the flash of my teeth
      The swing of my waist
      And the joy in my feet.
      I'm a woman
      Phenomenally
      Phenomenal woman
      That's me..

      Men themselves have wondered
      What they see in me
      They try so much
      But they can't touch
      My inner mystery.
      When I try to show them
      They say they still can't see.
      I say
      It's in the arch of my back
      The sun of my smile
      The ride of my breasts
      The grace of my style.
      I'm a woman
      Phenomenally
      Phenomenal woman
      That's me.

      Now you understand
      Just why my head's not bowed
      I don't shout or jump about
      Or have to talk real loud
      When you see me passing
      It ought to make you proud.
      I say
      It's in the click of my heels
      The bend of my hair
      The palm of my hand
      The need for my care.
      'Cause I'm a woman
      Phenomenally
      Phenomenal woman
      That's me.

      ***Send this to five phenomenal women you know.***
