“”Hope” is the thing with feathers That perches in the soul — And sings the tune without And never stops — at all.” – Emily Dickinson

I wrote Watch Us Stand Strong in 1994. I’ve shared it here before but felt today was a good day to share it again:
Watch Us Stand Strong
Long have we walked
Through the valley of our sadness,
Searching for a way
To end all the madness.
Long have we toiled,
Silent and unnoticed,
Suppressing our knowledge
And our gift to heal the world.
We are large by number,
We are small through the ages,
There are few that have spoken,
Few that dare to read
Our pages.
We are mothers,
We are daughters,
We are sisters,
We are friends;
We contain the lifeblood,
And the passion
Of all the universe
In our souls.
We are women,
Full of knowledge,
And beauty;
The Queens of our planet.
We are home now,
Watch us stand strong,
It is time to heal
Our world.

Searching through some old Word docs recently I found some of my poetry that I had put into Word docs from my journals. This one called out to be shared…
Gift Of Life
Love,
Be it an expression,
A word,
A thought,
A feeling;
Used oft by some,
Not by others.
For many it be
The truth that sets,
Them free.
For some it be
The chains,
That binds them.
Love,
To my tenet,
Be my gift
Of life.
For, I am free,
To love,
You;
And, all who touch
My soul
With the clarity
That each expression,
Be my gift
Of life,
To share with joy,
And oft
Forgiveness
In my heart.
(Gift Of Life & Red Day Lily ~~ c. Pamela J. Leavey)
