A Woman Who Knows (for Dena)

A woman who knows herself
is a woman in charge of her life.
She can keep her head up high
and live it with no strife.

She knows herself and who she is
and validates her needs
and she don't have to have a man
to ask and ask if please.

She knows her mind and what she likes
and has her set of plans
and if that meets some other thought
she might show out demands.

She's got a mind and uses it
to make her world sing whole
but she don't need some man to drag
his feet up to her bowl.

Any man that wants to be
with women of this kind
had better think a deeper thought
than checking that behind.

You've got to look her in the eye
for what she's just been through
'cause she's seen tougher days alright
lots tougher than just you.

What a woman puts up with
would kill most any man
so think about just what it means
to reach and touch that hand.
