A woman am I

A woman I am, no less a man
For all that I do
And all that I can
Speak to me of love and mirth
I know it well
I feel its dearth
Speak to me of pain and sorrow
I tell you plain
I’ll deal it tomorrow
For strength I own, twice your share
To face the truth
With selfless care
For a woman I am, no less a man
For all that I do
And all that I can.
