The glare of struggle, life, pain, endurance runs through her soul like
the strength that is seen in her veins
the way that her heartbeats is unheard of
Just as the river never stands still
she never sits down
never takes care of herself
grasps the little ones when they weep
encourages her man
lends her ears to those who feel to vent
reaches out her hands to help them up
She has a proud walk
She smiles without hesitation
As her cheekbones rise
there is nothing else to do
so
they
the children
the men
they
rise
their cheekbones
rise
they
stand
they
see
they
feel
rays of
power
inspiration
wisdom
love
mystery
sincerity
Rays from
her
she
the lady
the woman
You
We live to create
We live to love
We live to live
