Heroes with Handbags

This is for all the ladies, who lend helping hands without taking—who carry purses full of everything from candies, to make-up, and miracles in the making.

This is for all my sisters reaching for their dreams, and for the countless mothers who gave theirs up or who put theirs on hold to give their daughters wings…

This is for all the grandmothers teaching us the valuable things—by speaking from experience and sometimes by simply loving…and listening.


Heroes with handbags walking with grace, kindly nature and common appearance disguising scarlet capes…hero with the handbag, stand and show your face…make no mistake—there’s much power beneath the perfume and lace.


Fighting everything from pantyhose to a drippy nose…mending a broken heart with knowledge impart…all the while pushing a shopping cart…

Giving life, showing love, and causing laughter while paying bills, working, and learning—succeeding while having so many others to look after…

With quiet strength and subtle power—acting with courage and strength— living with passion and fire, those with handbags are the heroes I admire.


Heroes with handbags acting without fame or trace, healing the world’s ills with a warm embrace…hero with the handbag you have formed our base—the place from which my dreams I’ll chase…in my heart, there’ll always be a place…


For my Heroes with Handbags and a kindly face.
