Heroines I Have Known
the heroines I have known and loved are super
my grandmothers of
course they were old women
by the time
i knew them nurturing to
a fault
when they
would come for a visit my little sister and I would sing
she’ll be
coming around the mountain when she comes
my mom
a tiny
woman a beautiful
voice when she sang
she was
everything to me she
spoiled me rotten
my aunts
each one a
model teachers, a home
demonstration agent
an artist
my sister
a dear
child a
beautiful woman
full
of mystery often
kept it to herself
my friends
I would
like to gather them all into my arms each
one super
a list of a
few of their super powers:
kind
interesting
caring
loving
creative

Wonderful heroines indeed. And add one more - yourself, who has so much life wisdom to share, and who moves through grief and loss with enormous grace. You are an inspiration, Annell. Your mom and grandma would be so proud.
What a beautiful way to honor the super heroines in your life Annell!
