Inside Out
This is the story of my life.
I want to be in two places at the same time.
So I stand in the space between.
This is how I have always been.
I want to peer inside windows while I drive by.
So I search for lights on and curtains drawn.
This is my forever pain.
I want to be ready to flee at a moment’s notice.
So I seek out the gun-fighter position.
This is who I am
I want to be inside and out.
So I float.
The Sound of Sisterhood
Listen Closely. You can hear it.
The sounds of laughter and movement.
Look closely. You can see it
The love and affection that is clear as day.
Touch tenderly. You can feel life move from within.
The common bonds of motherhood, they do surround.
Hold firmly. Feel the growing bonds of sisterhood.
The sharing, the caring, the understanding of each other.
Laugh heartily. And let your heart recall it often.
For when there are tears you should hold–steadfast–the laughter.
Stand together. Even when [we] are apart.
For sisterhood knows no earthly bounds.
Give easily of your heart and smile. Be generous.
For there are days when one’s needs are a gift you can give.
Listen, look, touch, hold, stand, laugh, and give; these are all yours to bestow and enjoy.
This is S I S T E R H O O D.
