All the Great Women

I was born on March 1st, 1953.
I was the only male new born in Flushing Hospital's nursery.
I also have four younger sisters in my family.
Sherry, Roxanne, Dianne and Li-Li.
From my very moment of birth women have influenced me greatly,
be they mother, sibling, lover or family.
I often ponder and wonder how my life now would be
if not for All The Great Women who have influenced me.
