soft as steel...

so I am pretty tough these days..

independent,

self sufficient..

for the most part!

I work

and pay the bills...

I figure things out when they go wrong..

and I keep men at arms length,

perfectly content alone!

And then something simple..

melts my heart,

and reminds me

how soft a core of steel

might really be!

Tonight-

that moment

was during a Tv show..

criminal minds..

my fav actor

used the phrase 'baby girl'..

and not to his daughter!:)

it made me remember

what it is

to be protected

and soft

and vulnerable...

and OK with that!

Its funny the things

that

remind our hearts

that

under the metal plate..

might just be..

butter!
