To All the Women That I Now Know and Have Yet to Meet
|
TAKE CARE OF THE LITTLE GIRL WITHIN You must take care of the Little Girl Within Because of all the feelings in the Woman Without That is the one that will be most lasting Because the Little Girl Within is protected by the Woman Without She is the core of she who lives and accomplishes She is her soul She is nourished by the soup of warmth and kindness She is sustained by the constant flow of knowledge Yet, she remains the Child Within A Little Girl who delights in finding out the wonderful ways Of ants, antelopes Who is excited about the unfolding and folding of each day Who remembers her grand mom’s shortcakes And mother’s advice Who imbues the Woman with graciousness Who settles her with a tiny hand So you must be good to the Little Girl Within Or else The Woman Without will not like you. by Earthene Fleming September 2, 2004 Author’s Comment "I really love this Little Girl. She is the best of me. She demands protection and dignity. I must protect her even when I am afraid to speak up for the woman without. She compels me to act. She is not selfish; but she deserves respect and imbues The Woman with the strength to expect and demand it. I say to all: "You Must Take Care of Her". |
