Women all around the world
a tribute to you twirling
everyday work and struggles
A woman, wife, mother, chauffeur,
nurse, doctors, lawyers, engineer,
short order cook, baker, teacher,
poet, artist, librarian, soldier,
sister, mother in-law, grandmother,
great-grandmother, daughter,
friend, peacemaker, dancer,
dog-walker, ... and a child of God. 

Sappho, a lyric poet, 
Joan of Arc, a heroine of France 
for her role during the Lancastrian phase 
of the Hundred Years’ war 
Helen Keller, deaf and blind, an American author,
Eleanor Roosevelt, an American political figure,
diplomat, and activist and the First Lady of the United States
Amelia Earhart, aviator, 
the first woman to fly solo across the Atlantic Ocean
Mother Teresa, "Saint Teresa of Calcutta," Catholic, 
was an Albanian-Indian Roman Catholic nun 
and missionary, place herself completely at the service of others

A woman, mixed clay that was once rough as sand, dropped, spattered, and molded one that was flawed with the disorder of humanity, forgiven by the drops of crimson.

But the most important one, Mary Mother of Jesus 

Why?

As I follow the footsteps of my son
My heart breaks at every word said
against Him

Why?  Why?
As my tears run down my face
I vision,  tenderly cradling him in my arms
when he was young

Why? Why?
Does it have to be this way?
They only loved and worshiped Him yesterday
What has happened in just a day to make everyone hate him so?

Why? Why?
As I take every step behind him watching him suffer so
My legs want to fold underneath me of the pain in my heart for my son
For every blow he takes, for every time he falls

Why? Why?
My eyes swell and my nose runs
from the suffering that my son is enduring
and I am not allowed to get near him to comfort him in my arms

Why? Why?
Please, let his suffering end

Endure and rise again

Mary, witness to suffering with love and faith in "The Passion of the Christ"
