UNDERESTIMATED
I’m no one trick pony!
I saddled, rode and tamed you.
Walked through the fire & spit out the ashes then bathed with the smoke and that was just in passing.
Lifted up other when I was in the trenches.
Soared over heartache-deflected all pain.
Only taking a break to feel the rain.
You see I never said I was perfect nor claim to be.
Just a lady with many layers,
so many it astonished me.
Im no one trick pony!
AHA I thought you knew.
I’ll plant a tree for shade
Walk miles for water
gather rocks for stew
Birth a child
build up a village
WHEW!
Mother of nature, queen of existence.
Still you resist my position....
Even after I saddled, rode and tamed you.
Thats alright. This nation will grow, flourish no less with those who do not resist.

This really made me smile. Great poem. I love the confident defiance of it, as opposed to the gentle, subtle understanding of lines like, "Soared over heartache-deflected all pain, Only taking a break to feel the rain." Beautiful.
