Day 5: A Woman's Beauty

Women have the beauty of a flower, blooming with grace; the vibrant colors and shapes they take are like a woman's individuality. 

A woman's heart is like a mama bird flying from point to point, protecting it’s baby bird,

A woman's patience is like jenga;

keep pulling until it falls down,

A woman's voice is like a tiger trying to train and tame it, but at the end of the day, it's a free animal. 

A woman is like an ivy plant. Beautiful and pretty get too close, and it can bring poison.
