Superhero woman
The angels watch over you
in your flip flops,
dangling a vacuum machine,
tripping over your cat
and toys on the stairs.
You manage through your days
Your sanity intact
and your hair wild in exhaustion
as you cast a lingering look
at the flame of promise
tantalizing in a cherub's hand.

Nice and sympathetic words

have a nice Sunday
much love...
yep- she's the super hero for sure!
I think she could use a glass of wine. Or two.
Appealing and rather thought-provoking.
Super-heroine indeed! I think she should take up on Tom suggestion.....
She sure is a dream come true superwoman!
You captured the image perfectly...
There has to be another way !
