Strong Woman

Strong woman
She tells me stories,
Hours on end,
Shares poetry,
Shows integrity,
Keeps me alive,
More nights than not.
This woman,
She teaches me,
Her strength surrounds me,
Together we laugh,
‘Til our cheeks are wet,
Sometimes we are sad,
Sometimes we’d cry.
All the while,
She remained a rock,
One of stability in my life.
