My Bloodline
I wear my grandma Helen’s ring
on my left hand,
my grandma Margie’s
on my right,
a purse of my mother’s
rests in my lap,
I am dressed in mementos
of the powerful women of my bloodline,
those who survived WWII,
exuded strength in a time without equal rights,
had souls full of bravery,
minds of intellect,
with hearts overflowing with love –
when I question my endurance,
my purpose,
I look down,
feeling empowered
by those
I am connected with,
to make them proud,
and feeling reassured
knowing their DNA
is within me

so beautiful!! sometimes I think about it the other way around, and I hope one day my grand daughter will think this deeply about my life and somehow find inspiration from it!
