Strong Women

My family is a family Of strong women Of that there is no doubt These women Have withstood The challenges of their times. All of life’s trials The worst of the worst History has not been kind Deaths, rapes and murders They have had to live with daily Live with on their minds. Unexpected circumstance Have tested my ancestral women And they somehow survived And somehow they managed to live on Sometimes all alone And to go on and to thrive. And now in the Halls of History They can stand up and be counted Among those women Among the best of the best Those who are still considered to be Strong Women.
