Let us be women who love

Thankful to a beautiful woman who shared this and lives it out better than anyone i know.  These are the words my heart would have said if it could

Let us be women who love. 

Let us be women willing to lay down our sword words, 

Our sharp looks, our ignorant silence and towering stance 

and fill the earth now with extravagant love. 

Let us be women who LOVE.

Let us be women who make room.

Let us be women who open our arms and invite others into an honest, spacious, glorious embrace.

Let us be women who carry each other

Let us be women who give from what we have.

Let us be women who leap to do the difficult things, 

the unexpected things and the necessary things.

Let us be women who live for Peace

Let us be women who breathe Hope.

Let us be women who create beauty.

Let us be women who LOVE.

Let us be a sanctuary where God may dwell

Let us be a garden for tender souls.

Let us be a table where others may feast on the goodness of God

Let us be a womb for Life to grow.

Let us be women who LOVE. 

Let us rise to the questions of our time.

Let us speak to the injustices in our world.

Let us move the mountains of fear and intimidation.

Let us should down the walls that separate and divide

Let us fill the earth with the fragrance of Love. 

Let us be women who LOVE

Let us listen for those who have been silenced

Let us honor those who have been devalued.

Let us say, “Enough!” with abuse, abandonment, 

diminishing and hiding.

Let us not rest until every person is free and equal.

Let us be women who LOVE.

Let us be women who are savvy, smart and wise.

Let us be women who shine with the light of God in us.

Let us be women who take courage

 and sing the song in our hearts.

Let us women who say, “Yes” to the beautiful, 

unique purpose seeded in our souls.

Let us be women who call out the song in another’s heart.

Let us be women who teach our children to do the same.

Let us be women who LOVE.

Let us be women who Love, in spite of fear.

Let us be women who Love, in spite of our stories.

Let us be women who Love loudly, beautifully, divinely

Let us be women who LOVE.
