Prayer of African Women

by Grace Eneme

I am a woman,
created in the image of God,
with dignity and virtues,
formed by a very hands of God,
given life by God´s breath.
I am a women,
mother of presidents and of workers,
mother of housewives and ministers,
mother of kings and subordinates,
mother of idiots and geniuses.
I am a woman,
farmer, cook, housewife,
and neighbour.
I work from morning till
late at night,
sow and reap under
the burning sun,
go off with heavy burdens,
and return home to
feed my family.
I am the woman,
the heart of the family,
I am loved, and yet oppressed,
held in esteem, and still
considered inferior,
caressed and yet beaten
indispensable, and still overlooked.
I am a woman,
Lord you created me and You
know me,
You know me by name,
You listen to me, when the world
refuses to understand me,
You know all my worries,
You see my tears and hear my sighs,
You are everything to me.
With You, Lord, there is hope.
In you I want always
to put my trust : as a woman.
