My Heroine


You don’t become a heroine
by staying there a long time.
It’s not a title for longevity.
But long enduring can be heroic…
if you’re the glue that binds it,
watching others turn away,
fall off, quit for a while that lasts
and lasts and lasts, and still
the one holds on. And as she does
eventually others come
and she’s there, the wisdom of ages,
the quiet voice holding the course.
And it grows and grows and thrives
until the strength doesn’t depend on one
but she goes on, giving service,
providing inspiration, showing the path,
the heroine.
