Here is the entire poem:
A Woman Is Told
Be soft, but not too gentle. Be strong, but not so much
that your ambition is mistaken for a need to control.
Be a home, but do not be a house you can be owned.
Be a maker of worlds,
but keep the dishes clean.
Be a fire, but only for warmth,
never a blaze that burns too bright
or frightens with its intensity.
Be a quiet, conventional girl,
but make sure you are heard.
Be a woman with gumption and a tongue to articulate,
but speak with a smile,
and never a tone that suggests you are upset.
Let them look at you, but do not mistake their gaze for a mirror,
for you are not made of metaphors or riddles.
Hold the family and the home,
the work and the sorrows,
the memories and the triumphs.
Hold them all and never do enough.
Be resilient, compassionate, and unwavering, but also know
you are human, flawed, and don't have to be everything.
