We come from a country of strong women
we have stored in our genes
messages from the times of not forgotten wars
that if we can keep the house running
when the men are not home
we can keep the house running
at all times.
Not that we want to be alone,
our loving hearts long to stay soft
and we cry at weddings and funerals.
Even when we are not close to each other
our shoulders are strengthened
by the hugs of a circle of women
dancing with decisive steps
forwards and back when it's needed,
knowing that we will likely come back.
Walk in grace my daughter
this is my message of love,
knowing that you too can
carry the fire and water of life
seeking always the path towards light.
