She blends in well
amongst the
atmosphere
of encouragement
and support
they willingly
provide
Volunteering
themselves to
her ...
one brotha
at a time
They create a
lane for her to
move ahead in
as they follow her
lead
and adjust to her
inexperienced
sway
Upon a sudden fall
from grace
there are two or three
of them there to nurture her
...lifting her up
with affirmations
surrounding her
with love's bandages
and high spirited strokes
An inspiration to each
of them ~
etched into their daily
thoughts
... she is kept
safe on the journey
that begins with
each sun drenched day
and ends
at the intersection
of the earth and sky
She occupies
the space that
others are restricted
from
and in strides of skill
she is not very
far away
Accepting their
acceptance of who
she will become ...
to her they are all
"Brothers Keepers"
and now they include
her.... a sister ~
among many...
...only she
will
continue the
joys of the ride
