A little late for Mother's Day

I love love love this poem, I found it several years ago. This poem speaks to my heart. I hope it speaks to yours. There have been some very important women on my journey who have helped me to become the woman I am today...although I am still a work in progress, aren't we all?

Praise to the Women on my Journey
by:Rev.Melissa M. Bowers

To the women on my journey
Who showed me the ways to go and not to go,
Whose strength and compassion
Held up a torch of light and beckoned me to follow...

To the women on my journey
Who showed me how to live and not to live,
Whose grace, success and gratitude,
Lifted me into the fullness of surrender to God...

To the women on my journey
Who showed me what I am and what I am not,
Whose love, encouragement and confidence,
Held me tenderly and nudged me gently...

To these women I say bless you and thank you
From the depths of my heart
For I have been healed and set free
Through your joy and through your sacrifice.

I am grateful for the blessing you are to me....
