No Ordinary Woman
by Latina
18-Mar-2010
 

 

No ordinary woman is she

Fragile and yet so strong

In her voice is heard

The wisdom of the ages

 

Gentle as a dove

Sweet as honey

Yet fierce as a lioness

When protecting her young

 

Her eyes are soft

Yet if provoked

One look can pierce

Into your very soul

 

Her touch is gentle

Comforting in time of need

Drying away the tears

Touching your very soul

 

A heart of gold

Aches when you are hurt

Kindness rules within

No one could love you more

 

Always there to hear

Your great joy

Your troubles too

Especially your laughter

 

At night when no one hears

She prays for you

“Lord please bring happiness

Safety too”

 

May not seem much to most

How wrong they are

She is a super woman

Brightly shining in your eyes

 

 

 

 

Dedication: Poem dedicated to all the amazing women that make sacrifices for their children on a daily basis. Alicia, mi buen amiga espero que te guste el poema. :o)

Yolanda,

 

Thank you! I am not as tech savy as you think. I am learning as I go. :o) Maybe this weekend I can record  more of my poems.

 

I do have two new poems.

 

Have a great day!

Hi Natalia,

       Great job....excellent choice of pictures....the timing is good, too! I think you are probably the technology expert at your school now.....'cause you know how to make beautiful you-tube videos...

Look forward to your next blog!

Yolanda,

Yes, those are wonderful places to visit. Sadly, the museums that I am going to do not allow pictures to be taken. I have seen some pieces of Art from Picasso and Andy Warhol that I had no idea existed.

I was amazed! I wonder what other treasures are there for me to view at the other museums. In Houston there is this amazing children's museum. It is almost totally interactive. My students love it every time we go. I just wish we could spend more time there.

 

Sweet dreams!

Hi! Natalia,

    I love visiting museums, gardens, Catholic missions (usually with nice cactus gardens), aquariums, planetariums, zoos, wild life animal parks, historical societies, and National Parks. It is fun and educational......... If they let you take pictures in the museums, you can do a photo essay on IC.

   MM's video is very thought-provoking! Apparently even wild animals take care of their young, but IRI kills and executes its young.....IRI is worse than wild animals! It just saddens me!

Here is my favorite part of your poem, very beautiful, I love the similes:

Gentle as a dove

Sweet as honey

Yet fierce as a lioness

When protecting her young

thank you for sharing!

P.S. I am sure you can easily translate the poem into Spanish and share with your mom!

Yolanda,

Thank you for the videos. I have been visiting the museums in my area. Perhaps there is a story to be later told in this. I still have many more to visit first.

 I am taking plenty of notes. I shall also read Julio's Art textbook to immerse myself in Art. :o)
