As a young woman, I wondered how well I kissed.
I no longer wonder that.
My kiss heals bike falls and scraped knees
in seconds.
My kiss stops doctor visits from hurting
instantly.
My kiss calms even the most inconsolable child
in a moment’s notice.
One passionate kiss from me and my husband is a hero.
He can do anything.
A quick kiss from me after a hard day’s work says,
“Everything is going to be alright. We have each other. We’ve got everything.”
without a word spoken.
With just the touch of my lips on their cheeks –
my son feels unstoppable, my daughter worth worlds.
Technique and practice have nothing to do with it.
It’s the destiny and power of being a woman.
