RENE AND MAGELI

Women of magnitude

Two of a kind but poles apart

Weaving-in out of life

Webs and intimate intricacies

That makes existence an ultimate challenge

Though they started young

Weaving mirrored glasses

That magnifies things in rainbows

And bestows the ideal of everlasting summer

On their believes and outlooks

They came out of a world in which they were born

To find themselves and conquer the world

Not knowing that without removing

From their faces the mirrored glasses

The world would continue to deal them a terrible blow

And after two terrible bangs on the frame

It breaks and falls off

The great trumpet is blown

The mighty wall of Jericho is fallen

As in the bible no one would be able to build this wall

And so the new ideals start

From the debris and rumbles

Come a rambling magnificence

A fortress that cannot be equaled

This is the result of gradual work /Painstaking decisions

Sacrifices made for essence of survival

And since life must go on

They do nothing but go on living

In a life in which they refuse to be

Nothing but the actors, directors & producers

Refusing to be spectators

Or viewers on the outside looking in

At an early age they learn

That life, truly, is not a bed of roses

Lavishly they court the true essence of living

Fighting and winning a war never started

Always on top of whatever it is That life decides to dish out to them

And as we look on and marvel

At the goodness and beauty of it all

We fail to realize that sacrifices have

Been made in lieu of happiness

In their race they have been able

To do what most would not do

They have made a name for themselves

Overcome all odds and become over comers

We need not contemplate

Lives of two never known to the other

But fighting hard without relenting

Retreating and coming back to win

Never vanquished

They stand out among all

And forever will remain a legend

To be admired from race to race

And generation to generation

They stand out among many

And never cease to amaze

Neither is there a chance

Of them not been able

To surmount all obstacles
