ONE TRIBE
Have you felt
with passing years
a more pressing
need to connect
with other women,
to share observations
and laughter,
to offer advice
or garner wisdom?
Do you feel drawn
as if by a magnetic force
to be with your own kind?
For these women
are a tribe, your tribe.
No one else will ever
understand your struggle
as they will.
Women are our people,
when we come together
we feel a oneness,
a sisterhood united.
When we come together,
we are at home.
From the book, Water Running Downhill!,
