Oh, to be a fly on the walls of
my grandmothers homes,
my mothers homes and
all women of other lands and climes.
To watch them walking and working,
with bowed heads or heads held high
no matter the work demanded of them
catches my breath and
I am grateful ~
grateful for the freedoms of today
because their impassioned work
slipped the knots to free us ~
passing new found strength to
our granddaughters homes
and great granddaughters homes.
“There is a stubbornness about me that never can bear
to be frightened at the will of others. My courage
always rises at every attempt to intimidate me.”
~ Jane Austen
