Women who live and work abroad
We women who travel far
Not needing man, woman or car
We women who go away
Feel the fear and still go and slay
We take our lives and we leave
New adventures keep us going
We walk where lions tred
Hiking, singing and skateboarding
We wear the traditional dress
Loving creativity and expression
We eat foods from far off lands
And learn the meaning of their religion
Many of us are spiritual
Our travels have broken down barriers
We are not afraid of new places
Embracing the challenge like warrirors
We know they don't know us
Asking always 'Where are you from?'
Making crazy and wild assumptions
Which continues to make us strong
Personal relationships are challenged
It's the price that the distance brings
People ask about finding love along the journey?
It is not a straight forward thing!
Most of us still continue
For this is the life we have chosen
It brings quality in abundance
And reminds us how things smell of roses
It's a life that's not for all
Some need to be in the space where they were born
Others have planted seeds
Moving and sprouting like grains of corn
My Ode to my sisters
Who take their lives and start a new
May your journeys be love filled
As you grow your world mind view
