I see them in me
Those women who went before:
The church ladies
The hellions
The daughters
The sisters
The creative geniuses
Who never found fame;
Each left their mark
On subsequent generations
And through them, on me,
And now
I am forging my own path
In a world vastly different from theirs.
Where will that path take me?
And with whom will I leave my legacy
Since I will have no daughters
Or grand-daughters to carry it on?
