You a symbol of
Courage
You are everywhere
We Can Do It!
You say
Red bandanna with white polka dots
Blue-collared shirt
Does the red represent blood?
Does the blue represent tears?
You are representative of the
Blood
Sweat
Tears
That women like you have
Exhausted
Here you were given strength to
Become what many have
Ignored
Doubted
Riveter you are
Your hand
A fist
Your arm
Somehow masculine
However feminine at the same time
We do not have to be like men to succeed
To be seen as
Strong
Confident
Rosie the riveter
You are everywhere
Posted on the walls
Of those who admire you
A symbol of
Past
Present
Future
Strength
You have become
Alive
In our eyes
You are within me
You are within us all
