Strong Women

The whole song of life

Singing in your gentle sights,

Dreams interweaving

Quilts

For a comfortable ride

Where grandma tells stories

And still laughs

With her eyes.

Something about 

You ladies,

Some of you

See through tragedy

Some of you fight

Tooth and nail

And now the quilt

And then the needle

And the thread

Stories at night

Laughter

And a real live fire

Burning inside us all.

And we'll sing

And we'll laugh

And gratitude

Will slowly

Melt us to mud

And the future

Will dance 

In the rain.
