An ode to strong women

 

The struggles you put up with
Oh the women of this world
The strength you muster everyday
You educate your children and you mould the future
Oh the strong women of today.
Of the brave ones now gone
And those whom are left.
Keep up the dignity of womankind
Don't allow bad situations to make you down
And always keep your pride as the ones who give life.
I never knew about the role until I had five more of me
My legacy to this world are them
A decree in it definitely.
For five more of me to continue
Inherently what must be
A better future which begins with me.
You are not stupid as some might say to
Make you feel little and discredit you,
For know that in those utters
Are a reflection of their own faults.
Say what you feel, intelligently
Say what you mean, articulately
Say how you want to say it
And be whatever you say.
Be responsible as a woman and then go ahead as a mother, a future builder
A positive society needs;
Be brave as Indira and Aung San
Be a leader like Benazir,
Be gentle as Mother Teresa,
And as prayerful as Mary.
Be beautiful and powerful as did Princess Grace
Be a legacy, do your little part.
Make a stand and statement with the kindness
That only a woman may have.
Undo the effects of a patriarchal society
A male dominated regime, is surely not permissible
As Allah Ta'ala created us all equal.
The only difference we have is only in brute strength
As all other faculties seem to meet equal at all ends.
Hence, my ode to strong and versatile women.

A pledge I believe in.
