100 Words on Love, by Alex Yarde
–
Depending upon others’ kindness makes men into bulls in eggshell-laden china shops, unable to ask for help, even resentful of it. For this failing I’m sorry. I find myself surrounded by superheroes. A heroic mother-in-law strategizes our household, a circle of allies shepherding my little sidekicks.
My unsinkable Amazon warrior, strongest woman I know, laboring dusk to dawn. My son fast as lighting fetches whatever I need. A tiny empath daughter curled up, she “reads” me stories & kisses my immobilized knee. Not enough zeros to show my appreciation for my League of Extraordinary people. I strive to be worthy their heroic sacrifice.
