Women's Day - Today and Everyday !

It takes painful courage for a woman to fight;
The crimes against her body & mind, her throne.
At the moment of her birth;
Is the expectation set -
The wealth of her husband;
She will beget,
She has no lasting home.

Rendered by her growing years self-conscious, uneasy..
By inescapable schemes of prowling men;
Shamelessly victimizing her immense potential.
Her image, her choices,
She struggles to defend.

Yet it takes the heart & hands of a woman;
To mould a house into a home.
She has the irrefutable power to conquer;
Those mighty storms all on her own.

Don't ever find yourself in wanting
Of a wounded woman's wrath.
In protecting and loving her while you can;
Is the core strength of being a man.

A woman adds a special substance;
She is a gifted, indispensable pearl.
Accept or deny, the fact remains;
The world relies on the future of a girl.
