FEEL PROUD TO BE A WOMAN

A woman can’t afford to, be a woman alone

She has to reap a rich harvest, from seeds that she has sown,

after binding herself, to a worthy soul

and surrendering herself, to him complete and whole.

She faces family burdens, where many roles she plays

Acclimatising to the new, and casting off old ways.

Therefore her pick on goals in life, should always be elite

There is no way she can afford, to face any defeat.

Her thoughts within her bring out, the deep imprinting power

which can bring motivation, each second of each hour.

Her heart that captures lives, at every step and stage

is not bound by anything, neither time nor age.

A woman never grows old, she’s always young at heart

so any work at any age, can always get a start.

They say a woman is stronger, than man in many ways

then why should she sit and waste, the numbered treasured days.

The weakness that she feels at times, under the male domain

is the cause of all the trouble, and a lot of pain.

Fight is no solution, and argument, futile

the settlement is short lived, its only for a while.

With tact and love her weapons, and patience at her side

it isn’t hard to conquor, and then feel all the pride.

She should be firm and rise to meet, the challenges in life

no matter what the ostacles, the struggles and the strife.

A mother in the woman, with her endless loving touch

for those who need it all the time, would really mean so much.

I’m talking of HIV/AIDS, where death is a long haul

where sharing time and consoling are reasons for a call.

In shambles, pain and in distress, people are everywhere

Commit and dedicate yourself, with love concern and care.

This poem is dedicated to this year which is the year of women empowerment. With HIV/AIDS knocking at the door one never knows who'll face it. The courageous women will now have to show their potentiality in the field of becoming care-givers when people will be needing their help as they await death with AIDS
