Phenomenal Women

Praying in her back room
Her eyes focused on her Father
Even when downtrodden
Never giving up
On her family, 
Making it her mission to 
Embrace love and the ability to 
Nestle their desires
Absentmindedly she forgets her own significance, while
Love and trust is all she 

Wish for, to
Open the doors to her heart, she 
Magically succeeds to keep
Everybody happy, 
Never forgetting, that to get love you need to give love…

I wonder if everyone realizes the insight provided in your last line. Indeed, we cannot expect to receive love unless we give love. There are too many who become discouraged and close the doors to their hearts. Very wise words, dear friend. Love, Carolyn
