"Alone we can do so little; together we can do so much." Quote by
Helen Keller
A story told long ago of women who God used
to change the nation because of love
and welfare of their family and land.
They all gathered in the garden under amethyst waterfall
of wisteria vine, around an oval outdoor table
enjoying grape, strawberry wine and nectar cakes.
Talking about a kaleidoscope of outlandish and far-fetched ideas.
Their conversations took paths veering in zigzags
so, they listen to their voice’s comments and ideas.
Their planning caused confusion and misunderstandings,
even disputes among themselves. They knew they
needed a clear plan and visualize the end results.
They all shrugged with sassy looks. “We don’t have time.
Women in combat, it will be hard for them to believe.”
Women in leadership roles within their lives only men took.
They went out in silence as night drew to defend what they loved.
Heroes they were known, few perished and were crucified,
and heavenward, their goal was to win no matter the sacrifice.
