Powerful Woman

women have a power
it is an amazing gift
even when their hearts are broken
their arms are strong enough to lift
to carry you through sorrow
yes, each and every pain
absorbing all your hurts
and by your side to still remain
they will forgive you when the world
on you has turned it’s back
see right to the core of you
and not what you lack
take you from the pit of hell
to return you to your feet
when they have lost a battle
don’t see it as total defeat
they are magnets when your problems grip
and make you want to run away
bring you back home again
when you have lost your way
toils hard right by your side
and at times works all alone
showing you it’s not a place
but a feeling that makes you home
then tenderly at the end of your day
will gently rock you to sleep


today
kiss her
and thank her
this powerful woman
and in her heart
YOU
she will always keep

"The heart is the toughest part of the body, tenderness is in the hands." Carolyn Forche'

Great write Helen. The strongest woman I ever knew was my mother, and she was all this and more. I sometimes wondered at the strength she found when life would knock her down.

Oh, and by the way Dunc, love you too…from the erfkad
