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!
