Womanhood #TheInspiringWoman

The incredible strength of character;

Nothing is impossible, she believes.

Tough on the outside, but tender-hearted too.

Early riser before everyone else

Retiring at night after everyone else.

Never allowed to choose to be free,

A lot of pain she has to bear.

To put herself first and not last,

In their response to life, they inspire me.

Once more facing the day with determination,

Not allowing circumstances to dominate.

Always responding with dignity,

Loving those around them with such grace and mercy.

Women are the powerhouse  around the world,

Overcoming hardship, injustice and prejudice daily.

My own world is cosseted by comparison, but still, I face obstacles,

Education and patience are key for us all.

Not settling but pushing ourselves to go far,

So let all of us Celebrate Womanhood!

Don’t ever stop believing in yourself…..

As always, we continue to use our voices.

Your very existence spurs me on to be the best I can be too.
