First published on my blog,www.fleetingmuse.wordpress.com, on March 9, 2016 in honor of International Women’s Day, 2016. This poem was also a part of my “52 weeks journey with the letter “W”, an weekly poem for 52 weeks starting with a word with the alphabet “W”.
Women
Wonder everyday
Where would we be
Without them
Mother,sister,beloved,lover
Wife
Her head held high, wearing her crown with dignity
Proud of the woman she claimed to be
Carefree of all of life’s mishaps
Life happened to her in a split second
Dragging her pride and her head down with it
As her head continued to hang low the crown started to slowly slip off her head
The once sparkling jewels became a testament of her demise
The mist that rose from her sorrow as the cold tears hit her hot cheeks
Tainted her crown, filling it with rust that clung to the hinges of her heart
A Teacher’s Heart of Gold
The first day of school is special each year as I look up and down each row.
Looking at new supplies, new shoes, new clothes, what is most important doesn’t show.
Within minutes, they show you who is the brightest star…
It’s also very evident who carries the deepest scars.
