One More Story from the Clan of the Not-So-Many Breasted Women

Sharon's Kentuckiana Metroverisity
award winning essay 
in Creative Non-Fiction

A Warrior knows she is going to die
But a Warrior loves life.
So she digs her feet deep into the earth
Until she becomes one with the life
That she loves.

Be still. Be free.
Breathe out what has been.
Breathe in what may be.

Try to be happy. Try to be brave.
Say thank you. And dance
to the rhythm of life
beating inside you.
