Oh, Weary Woman
Oh, weary woman, what can I do?
Do you need someone to sit with you?
Hold you while the tension works itself through your body?
Do you need me to draw you a bath?
Put clean sheets on your bed?
Wash your dishes?
Fold your clothes?
Oh, weary woman, what can I do?
You’ve been fighting for so long.
Holding things that have hurt and harmed you.
Been brave for so long.
Oh, weary woman, what do you need?
I need to be loved.
To rest.
To be gentle with myself.
To accept the helping hands.
To sit.
To slowly heal.
