Cecilia Perez - Guam's Poet and Writer. Nov 1997 Steadfast woman cries with strength gives me strength to cry with her and speak my voice so long unheard.
Steadfast woman reawakens ways to think endless realms of possibilities.
Steadfast woman speaks words strong of thoughts held long, not allowed to breathe. Steadfast woman my heart soars in grateful pleasure for your risk, taken. I thank you for your voice of tears, for the path you dared to take. I thank you for my voice reclaimed for words I've yet to speak. Steadfast woman your breath of strength, of words, of tears, have cleared a path for me.
