Womanhood

A woman I am, 

Giving birth to a life that 

Evolves and replenishes inside me.

The scars of motherhood,

Are no less painful, but the pain gives immense pleasure lifelong 

To be called a mother.

A daughter I am.

Transcending into a woman

Learning to understand how women 

Are supposed to be - loving and caring,

Longing to be called the apple of my parent's eye,

A young damsel I am,

Glowing with inner beauty,

Lurking with life,

Incomplete are you without me,

The meaning of your life I am..

Here...I enter womanhood.

The strength that I carry is no 

Less than a Goddess of Shakti

From time and now,

From Jijabai to Kalpana Chawla 

To Indra Nooyi.

I exist in every chapter.

The chapters of history to the chapters 

That will make history.

From ancient to the modern age,

I will be written in every chapter.

I am a celebration!

Celebrate me...

I am a girl child...

Celebrate my existence 

From a daughter to woman, 

To womanhood!
