Confident Woman
She's every bit
the confident woman
Her clothes are pressed
hair styled, shoulders back, chin up
She has her purpose
mission-minded, laser-focused, prepared
She's every bit
the confident woman
Across the table sits
her mirror image in younger form
They sip their coffee,
click keyboards, shuffle papers, tackle to-dos
She's every bit
the confident woman
She instructs her daughter
in ways of life, of work, of world
Maybe a little jealous
her daughter's insight, strength, sense-of-self
Becoming every bit
the confident woman
her mother only feigns

Reading this reminds me of my three daughters. Very confident and focused. Also, reminds me I need to step up my game as a father and to be focused on teaching them about the Lord and reassure them of His and my love for them. Thank you.
