Title: BLOSSOMS OF BECOMING
(A Woman's Journey)
In her tender years, she is like the Tulip. Upright and so bright but still closed tight. The wind shakes her, trembles her, but she stands tall.
As she grows to young adult, she is like the Lotus. She rises from the mud and even in deep water, she rests on top of it, quiet, strong and whole, lifting her face towards possibilities.
Her motherhood is like the Camellia, which falls on the ground as a full flower. She doesn't fall apart as she gives everything at once and calls it love.
In her golden years, she becomes the Queen Of The Night. Rare. Soft. Unhurried but wise. You must slow down to see her shine.
Each flower has its time. Each woman holds all four.
