I feel most alive when I’ve put in a heart day’s work.
To see tears in eyes that haven’t cried in years.
To see a face soften with compassion for another.
These are moments I get to witness
when I put in a heart day’s work.
To watch a woman own her story,
realizing it no longer owns her.
This is what I get to witness
when I put in a heart day’s work.
To hear a woman speak authentic words
when before she chose silence.
This is what I get to witness
when I put in a heart day’s work.
To feel something like a mother’s love
even though I have no children.
This is what I get to experience
when I put in a heart day’s work.
To grow into the woman I was called to be
with a community of women behind and beyond bars.
This is what I get in return
when I put in a heart day’s work.
