In hommage to a woman's strength and virtue (bilingual- French/ English)
Two hands
Toughened by long days of toil,
Two arms
Made strong by lifting others
Two legs
Criss-crossed with veins like spider webs-
Well traveled
Two eyes
That have seen so much,
That have cried so much
In which burns the fire
Of an inexplicable vivaciousness (vivacity)
Two breasts
Which have suckled many a waif
That have been the refuge
Of many a troubled soul
That have heaved many a troubled sigh-
Sighs of pain, of grief
Of pity, of relief-
The Soul Warrior.

A woman of exceptional strength
Survivor of turmoil, of disappointment,
A woman graceful, hopeful,
Passionate, triumphant

Woman:
Mother, sister, lover friend
But above all,
A woman of faith,
Woman of God-
The Soul Warrior.


Deux mains
Endurcies par le travail
Deux bras
Forts, musclés
Deux jambes
Traversées par des veines
En forme de toiles d’araignée
Bien voyagées
Deux yeux
Qui ont tant vu
Qui ont tant pleuré
Dans lesquelles brille le feu
D’une vivacité inexplicable
Deux seins
Qui ont nourri un tas d’enfants
Qui ont fourni de l’abri
A un tas d’esprits troublés,
D’âmes tourmentées
Et qui ont poussé tant de soupirs :
Des soupirs de douleur,
De pitié et de soulagement
La Soul Warrior

Femme forte
Survivante de bolversements, de déceptions
Femme de grâce, femme d’espoir
Femme de passion, femme de gloire

Femme :
Mère, sœur, amante,
Amie et partenaire
Mais, surtout,
Femme de foi
Femme de Dieu :
La Soul Warrior.
