A woman

by Heissell Ramirez


Today I saw a woman, she was quietly sitting on her porch
Today I saw a wife, she was waiting for her husband
Today I saw a mother, she had pictures of her children in every room
Today I saw a grandmother, she had toys neatly stacked in a box
Today I saw a caretaker, she had a pen and paper in her hand
Today I saw an elderly woman, her steps were slow but firm
Today I saw a woman, her nails were perfectly polished
Today I saw a woman…
Today I saw the many sides of you
