A Woman So Strong

A woman so strong, our own Joan of Arc Rose up amongst others to conquer the dark Never once did she hesitate, always took the lead Walked at the front, she knew what we need. Today she decided to take another leap Just another step, on a warpath ever so steep. She entered the world where the sword has no meaning For now she can rest in a life more appealing. A mother at heart with tender understanding She knew when to pause when her boy-child was stumbling Her daughters she taught to be woman of note This remarkable woman that life could not smote Suffering for you did not come from the pyre The pains that you bore in your heart you acquire Steadfast in principle for that what was right Now you can rest, its the end of the fight.

This was written inmemory of my mother in law, Nonnie Ras ( neé Beukes neé De Lange ) She was really a remarkable woman who brought her sons and daughters up , all alone for most of the time. At times in utmost poverty but never once did she complain or beg. In her hands little became much. -thank you ma Nonnie
