Period

A gift from mother nature

to bring about new life

a blooming flower to show

you're ready to be a wife

 

red river or crimson tide

that time of the month

if your temper rises 

you must be on the blob

 

those pesky women's problems

bloody mary'd to the max

and for the womanly privilage

they added luxury tax

Shower

Sanding in the shower

Thinking of my woes

Comtemplating life

Water circling my toes

 

Washing only take a minute

Thoughts and dreams much longer

I love this time for me

It makes me feel much stronger

 

A knock at the door

Breaks me from my reverie

"Mum, are you done yet?"

Ah, back to reality

Superpower

I have a superpower

It's really something to see

From family to strangers

It transforms those around me

 

It can make the sad feel happy

It can brighten the darkest day

It can make the ill feel better 

What more can I say

 

Can you guess what my power is?

On it you cannot put a price

It's the coolest superpower of all

Being really nice
