An honest and touching poem from our very own Jess, who happens to be one of the women I admire.
The Women I Admire
By Jessica Pherson
I admire the women
Who carry their young on their backs
Who bend over in fields all day
Whose skin cracks over sore knuckles
I admire the women
Who work three jobs for their family
And never complain
Who want to buy themselves a new pair of shoes
But save for food instead
I admire the women
Who stand up for their beliefs
And follow their dreams
Who bring light into this world
Often shrouded in darkness
Who get up everyday
With a smile on their face
Even when someone is out there waiting
To wipe it away
I admire the women
Who have touched my life,
Who have touched our lives,
Who have created the human race
I admire the woman
Who brought me into this world
Who is my shoulder to cry on
Who is always there when I need her
Who I see in the mirror each day
