Standing Tall

Lori Crawford Arnold

A Mother’s Prayer

 give us strength to teach our daughters

to understand the value of their gender

give us courage to teach our daughters

to stand tall in the face of their own power

help them uncover their inner strength

by turning it into the power of

ten thousand tsunamis

give them courage to take back 

what is rightfully theirs

  7. Dearest Helen,
    Indeed the natural inner strength for daughters is very important and not being side tracked by all the brainwashing that is going on nowadays.
    Big hugs from The Netherlands,

  8. Helen, it is just me 'solo' as Pieter does not like all the stress involved with such an international flight. But I certainly enjoy being with my best friend of 57 years!
    Hugs from a sunny Limburg, we enjoyed with another friend, sitting on a terrace and touring in her Tesla my birth town.
