This is in honor of all my young, spiritual sisters who are trying to do it all and often second guessing themselves and wondering how they can be spiritual, supportive, satisfied and hold it all down at the same time...mother feels your pain....I love you all...


Defining a woman…
How does a woman define herself, when trying to live in God’s will…
When she knows who does what…
It is easy to acquiesce to his success…
But how does a sister…
Pretend she is less…
When she knows it is a mess…
And without her it would be nothing but stress...
I watch all my young single sisters…
Who have it going on and on and on…
They are spiritual girls…
Who love the word…
And are constantly told…
They don't fit the mold…
When all they want is…
To grow old…
Wrapped in strong arms that hold…
However…
The reality…
Will always unfold…
And the truth is the house will be sold…
If she stops working cold…
Cause truth be told…
She is the only one who can’t fold…
So does she pretend it feeds her soul…
Praying all the while that there really is…
A pot of gold…
