For: 'Women in my family' Poetry Contest, Sponsored by Soto Poet, June 16, 2022
The women in my family Clean baby butts, scrubb toilets Work, go to school, cook dinner And study for final exams while everyone sleeps Daughters, sisters, mothers and grandmothers cut from the same cloth They take care of their men They make them wash the dishes and watch babies While they eat pomegranate sorbet and watch The Bachelor Or something not-football on Netflix Our strength and our legacy Make no mistake The wife I married, the daughters, and granddaughters she raised I stand in awe of every day
