A WOMAN'S BONDS

Sharing the journey
My girls and I
Loving how different we all are
Yet share so much of the heart

Women make living worthwhile
Every breath
Giving new life
Even when we get hurt

Being there for each other
For all the right reasons
Holding each other through the storms
No matter when we were born

We find peace in each embrace
We offer unconditional acceptance
To the whole of our being
Dry the tears that fall

Celebrate the victories
Encourage growth
Sense the sadness
Lavish attention on each other

Give without expectations
Dream with the support of love
Reach out knowing a hand will be there
To pull us through

A woman's bonds
So true and special
She holds on like no other
Protects and provides a special comfort
For she knows she understands
What it feels like and gets you like no other
