The Sisterhood Exchange

I see her on the screen,
on the job,
on the street;
Head held high, 
her eyes smile and see clearly through the bright light she casts.

She has danced with many partners;
fear,
rejection,
And at least one of the "isms;"
They now follow her lead.

I return her glance with smiling eyes,
whisper a brief thanks to Him for her,
silently transmit a warm 'you go girl,'
and bask in the glow of our mutual lights,
each strengthening the other through the energy exchange called sisterhood.
