R
There are many beautiful words that one could use to describe the Remarkable, Respectable, Resourceful, Resilient women who nurture and care for the well being of children every day.
For each day, they find ways to make a gown from scraps and a meal from crumbs.
Their back stays strong in the face of the prison door closing, a casket lowering, diagnosis received, and the divorce decree given.
They smile through their pain and cry in their laughter. Their children don’t understand the definition of poor or hungry, for she sees their belly full and their body covered. She sews with a needle and washes with her hands. She baked from scratch and her books straight.
She never misses a game or recital nor a day at work. For she rises early and goes to rest late.
Yes, women who care for children are
Remarkable, Resourceful, Resilient
women that deserve full
Respect for all they do
day in and day out.
