Womanhood, again

I am like Eve
guilty
cursed
and still blessed, somehow

I am like Sarai
waiting 
longing
disbelieving
victorious

I am like Rachel
treasured 
forgotten
barren
mother

I am like you
afraid
alone
and accepted

This breath I take has been breathed before
Nothing new under the sun
The continual groaning of humanity
to be loved 
to be whole
