My Woman

When difficult problems strike at the hearts
Of little girls, she always knows the right
Thing to say, the right thing to do. She starts
Their days with simple words designed to light
The way for them. She makes each morning seem
Like the most important part of her day,
And sends them off into the world a team
Against all odds. She wants her babes to stay
Connected, partners, growing up as friends
Who will always be there for each other,
To stand forceful and tall against strong winds
That lead lesser folk to look for cover.
When pressure builds, and some appear to burst,
Priorities on straight, she's Mother first.
