Here's to Women

The angels whisper highly of mothers
For their heavenly work is like no others
Enduring well the hardships they carry
They make their home a sanctuary

For a woman will smile when she wants to scream
Lending to others energy to dream
Here is a tribute for all that she does
Selflessly and just because

She sings whenever she wants to cry
And believes in others when they try
She laughs at herself when she grows nervous
Yet offers strength to others for their purpose

She'll fight for the things that she believes in
And inspire others to grow from within
She'll stand up against any known injustice
And put evil thoughts and deeds on notice

On a quest "no" is not the correct answer
And she knows how to get her word heard
For since a solution’s just a prayer away
She will turn to God that very day

She will go without so her family can have
And of what she has she will gladly give half
She cheers with delight for those who excel
And strengthens those whose hope has grown pale

She, with the angels, when a friend dies
Responds to tears with their own heartfelt cries
Her love can heal a tender broken heart
Such is the power her hug and kisses impart

A woman – in all her shapes, sizes, and colors
Yes... is the one who notices others
She will drive, fly, walk, and run just to reach you
Thus showing how much she ever cares, too

The heart of a woman is what keeps the world turning
Keeping joy, hope, and love continually burning
Women have vital things to say and everything to give
Here’s to good women- where ever they work, serve, and live!

I am an empty nest with one grandchild. I had the strangest dream last night. My husband and I were on vacation. Passing through, we went to visit one of our married children. I offered to watch the grandkids and relieve them overnight. I thought of errands to do and surprise them. We ran into friends and I invited them to dinner. I then saw something my husband could easily fix while grandkids were scrambling about. I was cooking- a lot was needing to be attended to. Having to go to the bathroom, I called out to my husband to quickly get to something in the kitchen. He called back he was equally busy. And I called back to him explaining I was using the bathroom...and woke up almost wetting the bed!
I had two revelations- I always offer my husband to help others and get too busy to use the bathroom.
