WE ARE

on

WE ARE ALL WOMEN OF DIFFERENT AGES

STAGGERED STAGES OF LIFE

WE ARE MOTHERS

DAUGHTERS AND SISTERS

EYES SHADOWED WITH WISDOM FROM SCARS WE BEAR

WE ARE THE BARERS OF LIFE

KEEPERS OF THE HEART

INSECURE IN OUR OWN BEING

FEELING SO FRAGILE AND WEAK

YET WE STAND AND HOLD UP WHAT HAS FALLEN

SHATTERED AND BROKEN

PURE AND INNOCENT

WE WERE BUILT WITH A STRENGTH

TO PROTECT AND SURVIVE

AT THE COST OF OUR OWN LIVES

WE ARE WOMEN OF THE SAME KIND

A BEAUTIFUL MOSAIC CANVAS

PAINTED WITH THE COLORS OF

LOVE AND PAIN

TEARS, LAUGHTER AND SACRIFICE

STANDING STRONG AGAINST THE HANDS OF TIME

This is dedicated to all women that stand strong in the face of diversity and hardship…especially when they feel like crumbling.

    A beautiful homage, most certainly, Noellie. I certainly understand and everything you say holds profound truths for us all. I am a great grandmother and there are many children in my family…many of whom will walk the life that women, ultimately, must walk. Do take good care….and thank you.
