We are pillars of strength and softness
of feminine power and beauty
We are towers of goodness and yet…there is a sliver of darkness within
The women and men who came before us
in their example, we try to build an empire
with hearts of gold, keepers of the peace
crowns of justice adorn thy heads
rain drops of pain and suffering trickle down the limbs of loved ones
‘what a trying time!’ we say
‘how will we go on?’
we are a stalwart people- we have proved over and over in this country during times of dire stress and need
lest we forget:
we are always and forever, better together
