One part sadness
Two parts mother
One part wisdom
Two parts experience
One part forgiveness
Two parts love

The recipe for the working woman.
The woman who gets kicked down,
but lives to stand up

A woman
who loves the battle
who laughs in the face failure
because she knows
that the only failure she could know
is the one brings on by herself

So she stands
and pulls those up around her,
and together,
we charge to the finish line,
just hoping
that the prize is worth it

The woman who keeps her head up;
she knows,
she knows what is waiting for her at the end.

That is why Diane fights.
