She Has a Strong Heart

The struggles she has endured
The daily devotion of caring for her older son

But she is a fighter, not easily broken
She sees life through the lenses of a lioness

Her affection branches out little clones for the rest of us
Her wise positive words are flower beds that surround her
And those around her

We women have a particular job... to remain strong not only for ourselves but to our children. It is a good word! God bless, Marilyn
