The Mighty She

How we should all see our mothers.

A photo by my husband Austin White

She was no taller than four foot nine

But built to be a warrior, a goddess,

A queen of the forest and wind.

The mighty She, an Amazonian today.

She had the potential

To conquer armies with one arrow

And to climb mountains just to touch the sky

Grab it, tear it down, wear it like a cloak.

She was glorious,

A sight to behold and to be told

To our children’s childrens

About immortals amongst men.
