O Woman how you have bled;
the ages are built upon
your blood and hope
your heart blood stains
the pathway of Time
creating the
way forward
ceaselessly
breaching the line
you bleed for the right
to conceive, to love,
to give life
men go a'wandering
full of zest and
adventure
you stay home and bleed
from your eyes
your body
your heart
watching young
soldiers leave
for war...
you bleed
new teeth,
scraped knees,
betrayals,
their broken hearts...
you bleed
aged care,
vague eyes, dementia...
you bleed
stoically you bleed
without questioning why
O Woman, you bleed for humanity!
standing steadfastly
faithful...
filling your
place in the line
