that her life was not a waiting room
between birth and eventual death
she awoke to the certainty
that her essence was of divine design
whose purpose was to bring joy
companionship
and healing to those she touched
through spirit, body, and mind
She was a woman
and through her veins flowed the strength
of every woman who came before
of those who would follow in her wake
She was a woman
and the love she felt was more than any one woman
could ever hope to keep inside
