(Titles changed
from our previous menopause pin line)
Mid-life Celebrations
Among those things best forgotten
are the agonies of youth
Mermaid
A Mermaid,
not a "mere maid",
A woman of substance!
I
StellarsV Joys
Small joys are the greatest of gifts.
So we are grateful for the blue jays
who winter in our garden.
WomanVs
Dance
Dancing through life
with the excited discovery
of each new day.
Laughter and delight!
The dance need never end.
Song of the Fisher
Woman
The river -- a ribbon winding, always changing.
Sun light sparkling on the water, filled with fish.
The river is my mother, she gives her children life.
And so I sing a praise for her never ending gifts.
Frolic
Laughter and Play
are not reserved
only for children
Fashion police
For those with discriminating taste
and shopping expertise.
Bad Hair Day
Everyone has a bad hair day
once in awhile.
Four Faces
Like a fine piece of jewelry.
At first, finely chiseled
Then delicately etched.
Deeply engraved,
And finally a work of art!
Lost Keys
Sometimes we need a dog on the head
with a bird on the back
to remember the small details.
Chaos
The chaos of menopause
is the only
thing
I
havenVt been able to blame
on my
mother.
CleopatraVs Comb
Through
the ages, my comb has run its course.
Now, slowly it glides through my silver hair.
I dreamed of galloping horses, chariots racing.
My life is charged with energy and zeal.
Flight to Freedom
The nest is empty
the children are gone.
Twenty eight thousand meals
cooked .Menupause
Cat on the Back
Grandmothers, have you no children?
Mothers, have your children gone?
A cat on the back
will give you comfort in your years.
AnubusV Song
Spring has ended.
Autumn not begun..
Sun filled days roll gently
by.
Enjoy the long days of
summer.
Our seasons change soon
enough.
Ultimate Friendship
Three
friends is the most difficult friendship. If you hear laughter
when three people are together,
then their stories will last forever
Best Friend
ChildhoodVs greatest reward
is a sister who is a best friend.
Tears of the Nile
When our daughters were grown and our cycles ended, we moved to
the riverVs edge.
As we wept at the passing of our youth and fertility, the river was renewed.
We were greeted by the laughter of our grand-children splashing in the water.
I am my parentVs child. I am whole.
And now I watch my children grow.
Two Friends Horseback
Always
I shall know my sister. We shall ride together. Always I shall love my sister,
we share our joy. Always I shall remember my sister, we shall raise our children
together. At our feet sit our grandchildren. They too shall ride together. Such is life!
Song
of Friendship
I
promise nothing but understanding. I give nothing but my ear. Speak to me and I
shall listen. Sing to me and I will join you. You shall have your drum, and we
shall sing together.
Paws for Thought
Pause for thought .
and let the imagination run.
Female Rain
She bends her head.
The autumn rain touches the
earth,
bringing the promise of self
discovery
and renewal.
LifeVs Rider
The ride was long and hard
and I lost my dreams along the way.
When I arrived, I found them waiting.
Inner Child
Protect and nourish the child within;
with joy and wonder smile at the adult.
Recollections
Those
things forgotten, I find at the riverVs edge. My memories are now like small fish
splashing in the water. I recall my motherVs strong hands and my fatherVs
wisdom. I am blessed and feel complete.
Recognition
My mother doesnVt
recognize
herself in the mirror.
I assure her that when I look
in the
mirror, I see her!
Alter Ego
The continual struggle of who we are
and who we are expected to be.
White Streaks
The white streak in my hair came
from a severe trauma.
