We Come Together From Many Lands, painting by Sumaiyah Wysdom Yates
The focus for this cycle within our Membership is Sisterhood. The Journey, a poem whose author is unknown, is a great testament to MUSEA's global sisterhood community and the connection we share.
The Journey
Time passes
Life happens
Children grow up
Jobs come and go
Love waxes and wanes
Men and women don't do
What they're supposed to do
Hearts break
Parents die
Careers end....
But... Our sisters are there
No matter how much time
And how many miles are between you..
A girlfriend is never further away
Than needing her can reach
When you have to walk
That lonesome Valley
And you have to walk it by yourself
The women in your life
Will be on the Valley's rim
Cheering you on
Praying for you
Pulling for you
Intervening on your behalf
And waiting for you with open arms
At the Valley's end...
Sometimes they will even break the rules
And walk beside you
Or come in and carry you out
The world wouldn't be
The same without women
When we began this adventure called womanhood
We had no idea of the incredible
Joys or sorrows that lay ahead
Nor did we know how much
We would need each other
Every day.. We need each other still
