Wonder woman

When I listened to John Legend’s wonder woman for the first time, I thought of myself without any sense of modesty. I thought of my sisters and then my mom. By the 4th listen, I decided every man needed to dedicate the song to their good wives, significant others or moms.

My friend Helen is one of the women i think about whenever I listen to the song. She’s an amazing human. I’m very certain she has got some super power that I am not aware of. In the midst of all that she strives and reaches, she always takes the time to check up on me.

Why, Helen, why? She tells me I’m an amazing sister and she appreciates me. I am both thankful and flattered whenever she says this. On one of her lovely check ups, she shows up with a huge mug with the inscription “blessed” and hands it to me. We share a very long, warm hug and of course, we cry a bit.

Helen, you make me wonder, woman, how do you do it? You are super human.

Heart Trade

Sell your heart to me

It’s much stronger.

Or could it be for free? Could I afford it.

Give your heart to me.

Mine is too fragile.

Maybe there is no need to give me the whole.

Give me a piece. I will add it to mine.

Then, I will have a stronger heart.

Then, I will handle things as easily as you do.

Give your heart to me… I think I need it more than you do
