tribute to women who in the face of opposition perservere and triumph
Turbulent seas din come my way
Cold Cold winds pushin' me down
Hot Hot sun burnin' my skin
Freezin' Freezin' ice gots my feet a hurtin'
My bare feet
Smilin' Smilin' faces 'din keep on
Stabbin' me
But I's still goin' on
over dem
Hard flo's
an' dat hot sun
an' freezin' ice
but mostly,
I be's goin' through
dem Turbulent seas
Dem Waves
da'z a comin'
but I's ain't
gonna let 'em knock me down.

Langston Hughes "Crystal Stair" (you know... life for me ain't been no crystal stair) inspired me to write this. I think it is a fitting tribute to the woman who in the face of all opposition and against all odds has perservered and triumphed.

Jusqu' au prochains amour, paix, et bonheur de temps...
