Radiant, Remarkable Woman
A word-seamstress,
I stitch my tales,
Each thread entwined
With lives.
Each thread entwined
With lives.
I write for girls
And women too;
My soul’s flames char
These lines.
And women too;
My soul’s flames char
These lines.
Like Moses’ bush,
This heart ablaze
Speaks clear and poised —
Please hear:
“Friend, use your gifts
To bless the world.
You’re made unique
And dear.
Through a kind word,
Art formed from love,
Simple smiles on
The street,
Your own great strengths
Feed empty souls,
Even those you
Won’t meet.
For drought-parched hearts
Your sweet deeds are
A river’s bracing
Streams.
Take courage then;
Your work’s of worth.
Strike fires of zest
And dreams.
Trail-blaze onward,
Passion-powered,
Boldly chasing
Your star,
And hold to this truth:
You were made to spread joy.
What a radiant, remarkable woman
You are!”
