"I have been many women in my
lifetime. I have been the protector
and the provider. I have been the
lover and the fighter, but the woman
I value most, will always be the
survivor." ~S.L. Heaton
Times, I'm The Three Faces of Eve;
make no mistake!
Obviously, we have all served many
roles in our lives; the kid, student,
spouse, parent, wage-earner, grand-
parent, and finally, the elderly . . .
facing exit time.
'Tis as it 'twas meant to be. Still,
rather wish I had more time to play
more roles. Seems it's only been a
few moments I've been a Crone.
I'm sooooo not ready to go yet!
And like Ms. Heaton, I do honor
the survivor in me. The stranger in
a foreign land, the misunderstood,
the eccentric, those fears we do not
like to talk about . . . all survivors.
Actually though, if I be granted
a tad more time, I'd willingly pay
the price by remaining a survivor.
Survive that 4:30 a.m. ice cream,
umpteen years wearing only black,
reading a book a day; who needs
sleep anyway?!
Yep! Survivor I am . . . and would
not have changed a thing, even
were I able!
