WOMEN'S AREA
I have included the lyrics to this very powerful and true song. I've also taken the "poetic license" to change "brother" to "sister." I hope B. Withers doesn't mind!!!
By B. Withers
Sometimes in our lives
we all have pain,
we all have sorrow
But if we are wise
we know that there's always tomorrow
Lean on me when you're not strong
And I'll be your friend,
I'll help you carry on
For it won't be long
'til I'm gonna need somebody to lean on
Please swallow your pride
If I have things
you need to borrow
For no one can fill
those of your needs
that you won't let show
You just call on me sister
when you need a hand
We all need somebody to lean on
I just might have a problem that you'd understand
We all need somebody to lean on
Lean on me
when you're not strong
And I'll be your friend,
I'll help you carry on
For it won't be long
til I'm gonna need
somebody to lean on
You just call on me sister
when you need a hand
We all need somebody to lean on
I just might have a problem that you'd understand
We all need somebody to lean on
If there is a load
you have to bear
that you can't carry
I'm right up the road,
I'll share your load
If you just call me
Call me,
If you need a friend,
Call me
Call me,
Call me (repeat to fade)
(Chorus)
I am finding from experiences in my own life that there are journeys of passage that women progress through in their lives. Many times a woman just needs to bond together in a "pack" of other women to share, celebrate and/or ride the storms of life together in ways that only women can do. Since this is becoming such a vital part of my own life, I will link to other sites of interest to women below.
A LITTLE BIT OF SUPPORT ON EARTH...
The above image is from a wonderful site for women in all stages of menopause. There are tremendous offerings and a wealth of information on this site. If you are a women, do NOT miss this site! Again, click on the link above to visit the Power Surge site.
