Dedicated to women on 'Women's Day',March,8
(From my poetry book ' Voice of Heart' )
***************************************
Oh the Women of the World!

In the name of getting glory and power,
In the quest to reach the highest tower,
In the desire to grow as a blooming flower,
In the dream to make man a bit narrower,

Often you throw aside the limits of Nature,
Often you forget, you are a wonderful creature,
Often you try to be an arrogant preacher,
Often you think , of man , you are a teacher.

You and men are born with different semblance,
You and men have their own unique fragrance,
You and men are equal for the worldly balance,
You and men are always each other's essence.

I pray you rise higher and higher,
I pray you shine brighter and brighter,
I pray you perform better and better,
I pray you become wiser and wiser.
