WOMAN



She has scaled the mountains,
And orbited the earth,
Trekked in treacherous land,
Gritted her teeth in childbirth.

Touched down safely on runways,
Walked the ramp, tall and confident,
And stormed the male bastions
In sport of stamina and strength.

She has made the rules and laws,
Worn her badges and crowns with pride,
Hiding no more behind veils and tears,
Challenged the world with her stride.

Those arms that soothe a baby,
 Juggle between workplace and home,
Nurse the sick and heal the broken,
Of her kind are millions….she’s not alone.

So gear up, get ready, dear ol’ world,
This is the Woman of the new age,
Accept her, praise her, emulate her,

And……#BeBoldForChange.
