The Sky Smiled

It’s a sunny, glowing and crisp day. Today I witnessed the release of a lovely soul. They knew her to be that of a pure vessel. Many had the opportunity to  be graced with her presence. Even I too had the chance to  have held her embrace and welcoming words of love.  I won’t do too much speaking about the one who’s no longer in the flesh…but what  I will do, is acknowledge the beautiful fellow human  beings that still roam the earth.

Daily Prompt: Graceful

via Daily Prompt: Graceful

When you think of a woman, most times you think of image first. We as a society have gotten away from adhering to the cliché ‘Don’t judge a book by it’s cover’.  More often than not, you have been judged by your peers just from a quick glance. Never mind the fact that you are a super cool individual. Never mind the fact that you have prestigious college degrees. Never mind the fact that you have children but you don’t let the stress of parenting get to you. Our peers don’t see those things…they only see you in a moments flash. But there will be moments when your charming mannerisms and your uncanny ability to be awesome, will supersede you.  You are still a graceful being that walks upon this green earth!  Being a woman is certainly a task within itself, but I,  like most of you have proudly accepted the challenge. If you see another woman and she is lacking a little sunshine, give her a nod and smile. Sometimes we have to remind each other that even though society continues to set erroneous standards, we are fine just the way we are. Graceful and all.

To You, My Sistah
