Here is a poem that was sent to me
by my adopted sister, SANDY.

God Bless Cool Women

They smile when they want to scream.
They sing when they want to cry.
They cry when they are happy.
They laugh when they are nervous.

They fight for what they believe in.
They stand up for injustice.
They don't take "no" for an answer
when they believe there is a better solution.

They go without new shoes so their
children can have them.
They go to the doctor with a
frightened friend.
They love unconditionally.

They cry when their children excel
They cheer when their friends get awards.

They are happy when they hear
about a birth or a new marriage.

Their hearts break when a friend dies.
They have sorrow at the loss of a family member,
yet they are strong when they think
there is no strength left.

They know that a hug and a kiss
Can heal a broken heart.

Women come in all sizes,
in all colors and shapes.
They'll drive, fly, walk, run or e-mail you
to show how much they care about you.

The heart of a woman
is what makes the world spin!
Women do more than just give birth.
They bring joy and hope.

They give compassion and ideas.
They give moral support
to their family and friends.
Women have a lot to say and a lot to give.
