Kinship excels From the edge of her lips A free, permeating wisp So welcoming, warm and kind Courage serves her At every treacherous turn Ahead of the world’s fiendish ills She trudges proud Assured and unfazed She is the defiant display A showcase of liberation With many more fearlessly Blossoming at her side My reluctance…
