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.
