    About this ebook

    My poems explore our infinite questionable universe Finding hope through spiritual belief, obtaining inner peace, and believing in yourself are major themes. It also encompass the philosophy of it can be done. Although geared towards women, it covers many subjects everyone has experienced. Love, hate, right and wrong are only a few emotional feelings explored. Some will make you laugh, some will make you cry, some will make you question why. I hope they have.

    Jane Manzitti

    I started writing in July of 2000. I was facing the death of my father and the end of a painful 18 year marriage. This blessing gave me strength through very hard emotional times. It’s also a lot of fun. My credentials for writing is a love for words, rhyming and life. I can never be Dr. Seuss and I don’t want to sound too obtuse, so to you may I introduce a middle-age old mother goose, explains it all. My love for God and our earth has given me the strength and wisdom needed to find inner peace. I dedicate this book to my mother, Jean. Her unconditional love and strength gave me the power to go on. She taught me to be independent, artistic and think outside the box. I can only hope to be half the person she was.

      21St Century Woman''s Book of Poems - Jane Manzitti

      21st Century Woman

      By Jane Manzitti

      21st Century Woman

      Our power, it is great

      Now is the time to use our force

      Lead us to our fate.

      Our strengths are learned through tears

      Hard work and attitude

      Make your choice, do it right

      Yourself do not elude.

      The mighty warriors keep us down

      For us they show great fear

      Great battles can be won or lost

      But we will persevere.

      Women have been sacrificed

      From first we know of time

      Mind and body gone astray

      But out of hell we climb.

      Our universe is run by power

      Given from our hands

      That power can be good or bad

      It’s there for our commands.

      Our taste for lust is useful

      We choose whom to bestow

      Great warriors will seek us out

      Our fires hot below.

      Our power must make choices

      Some of which we will not like

      Not used to help our world survive

      Mind and body it will strike

      We must realize potential

      Beat us down and we will rise

      We hold the power to everything

      Right behind our eyes.

      Don’t treat your life so cheaply

      Determined, we will try

      To free ourselves from unjust force

      Do it, or we’ll die.

      Be ever faithful to your dreams

      For what we have is rare

      Make a stand for peace and love

      For this we must prepare.

      For when the mighty warriors fall

      And everything seems lost

      We will find great strength and will

      No matter what the cost.

      We hold the key within our hearts

      The gift of life and love

      Finding what we really seek

      Our earth to rise above.

      PURPOSE

      By Jane Manzitti

      What is our purpose?

      Why should we care?

      There’s so many bigger

      Worries out there.

      Good against evil,

      Wrong against right.

      Their constant purpose?

      Who’ll win the fight?

      You’re here aren’t you, buddy?

      Yeah, so am I.

      To find out our purpose

      A life can go by.

      Power and money

      Is it wrong, is it right?

      The purpose will help you

      Sleep well at night.

      Goodness and kindness

      That’s certainly not jaded.

      The purpose for goodness

      Can sometimes be shaded.

      You figure it out.

      You have your own brain

      Your purpose could be

      Something simple and plain.

      To live and be happy

      Be evil and sin

      Only you know your purpose

      And it comes from within.

      I am Freedom

      By Jane Manzitti

      I have the power to be who I am

      I make decisions as to how I feel

      Power can be forced

      If it makes us feel whole.

      I have the freedom

      To search my own soul.

      What we have

      What we want.

      Is it really up to us?

      Our highest power

      Our biggest fears

      It’s our freedom

      It’s our trust.

      I have the freedom

      To be what I want

      To say what

      To hear what

      To act like I want.

      Freedom to all

      Who believe in themselves.

      To stand up and fight

      Or surrender.

      Not using your freedom

      Not saying

      Not hearing

      Not acting like you want

      Will be beneath

      Of what we’re intended.

      MID-LIFE CRISIS

      By Jane Manzitti

      I’m having a mid-life crisis.

      I don’t know which way to turn.

      I’m confused about my being.

      What do I need to learn?
