Women Being Awesome

More than once, you wondered what you were thinking.

Of all the decisions in life, you probably thought this was the most sane.

Taking care of 8+ children, not all of them yours, every day it seems.

Happy and sad and terrified in equal measure, this was a normal day for you.

Ever stating you’d rather hear the ‘gosh-awful truth than a pretty lie.’

Really, you were the best thing to ever happen to me.

Where would I be if not for you?

Siblings are supposed to help you build yourself up,

I can certainly see that you took this to heart.

Systems in place have been changed at the drop of a hat, when needed.

Too many of you to thank one at a time, because all five are too awesome.

Even when I don’t know who you are, you make me feel safe.

Reality’s something we face together.

I’d be all alone and lost to the world.
