STRIKE A POSE

WHEN THE SKY TOUCHES THE SEA

COURAGE

Today I honor

One woman I adore.

She’ll thank me later

In her refreshing candor.
No, she’s not mean-

Just destined to win.

Her love is keen,

Even beyond one’s skin.
She’s no superwoman

Yet is always in command,

Guarding her game plan

To get things done.
She has everything to give,

A soft heart ready to forgive.

Never fancy nor passive,

Just prefers to be active.
Standing tall with courage

Despite the worldly age,

I bow my head to this sage

I call my Mom, my life gauge.
