I remember the time my mother
was pregnant with my brother and I would loudly announce to anyone who cared to
listen how I want a baby sister to play with. The fact that it was a baby
brother was definitely no disappointment for me. Brothers are awesome in their
own way and no one, I mean just NO ONE can ever replace them.
As I was growing up, I was lucky enough to have close
girlfriends in my growing years who have been like true-blood sisters to me. I
have seen, experienced and believe in the power of womanhood. From my mother to
my closest girl-pals, I have been very lucky to have these special women in my
life. Here is a small dedication to all of them and to my mother, without whose
support and guidance I would not have survived the perils of everyday life.
A magical word of touch,
An understanding nod,
The glint in her eye
That made me smile…
Those words that soothed my
soul,
The hand that wiped my tears,
The look that held me right,
The glint in her eye
That made me smile…
The palm that caressed my
forehead,
The ears that heard me with no
complaints,
The look that said ‘I care’,
Those words of wisdom that
stirred my soul,
The glint in her eye
That made me smile…….
The lips that spoke those
trusted words,
The heart that cared like no
one does,
The faith I have in each one
of you,
It’s this power of woman-hood
that makes me write!
Oh! The glint in her eye
Those have always made me smile…..
