Knees that bend - day 135 (project 365)

In continuation  inspiration of Womanifesto... "knees that bend to pray-clean from Ajax washings"..... (Jill Scott)


These knees
 that clean these  floors
 have bent for others
to many times
to often
to many ways
are the same that kneel to pray
every morning
when I wake
and evening
before rest
the same
that find the strength
to lift
and pull me up
to walk tall
everyday
