Wrote this as a folksong in 2017 but never got past this fragment. Although we have many wonderful role models, this is dedicated to us, the everyday women who keep the world going xoxoxo

 

HAPPY INTERNATIONAL WOMEN’S DAY!

 

We borrow Earth Mother’s gifts to feed

Those we love and all in need

We borrow water from the well that glitters

Life blood of the planet and body transmitter

We borrow music and words swirling in the air

Soothing the mind, showing our care

We borrow the fire of sun-kissed kindness

Sharing with all a woman’s unsung largesse…
