Ode to the Woman

Turbulent seas din come my way
Cold Cold winds pushin' me down
Hot Hot sun burnin' my skin
Freezin' Freezin' ice gots my feet a hurtin'
My bare feet
Smilin' Smilin' faces 'din keep on
Stabbin' me
But I's still goin' on
over dem
Hard flo's
an' dat hot sun
an' freezin' ice
but mostly,
I be's goin' through
dem Turbulent seas
Dem Waves
da'z a comin'
but I's ain't
gonna let 'em knock me down.

Langston Hughes "Crystal Stair" (you know... life for me ain't been no crystal stair) inspired me to write this. I think it is a fitting tribute to the woman who in the face of all opposition and against all odds has perservered and triumphed.

Jusqu' au prochains amour, paix, et bonheur de temps...
