Heroines (Poetry)
24th April 2011
These are our heroines the pen made real
we share their dreams — the way they think and feel
for we are a sisterhood — a mix of races
with lives that touch — we recognise those faces
each mirrored in ourselves — soul-deep reflections
showing us our strengths and imperfections
and knowing they will battle on despite
all obstacles — and brave the darkest night.
Our heroines — those names that represent
the best of us — heartwarming stories meant
to link our kindred spirits — friend to friend
and lead us safely through until the end.
