A salute to all women there
From one who was born yesterday
To one’s adoring a crown silver.
You are a proof of strength
That has been supressed for long
By the being who thinks superior
Home of immense power you are
As a creator you give life
To a child while enduring pain
A fighter who stands all odd
From a stupid boy’s insensible comments
To an angry husband’s useless tantrum
A strong tread you also become
To hold all bonds you adore
Like a necklace you hold dear
You are the supporter to the weak
Who needs love, care and meal
From a home maker or a nurse
While honing you skills and intellect
You defeat all those who compete
Left intimidated by your personality
Your pretty face and deep eyes
hold the strength to scale peaks
While your sweet smile may rule millions
A warrior on the front you may be
Defending your home from all odds
As soldiers, pilots or a minister
Those who say females are weak
Actually fears the spark we hold
For it may turn them to ashes
Choose what you like the most
You were never ever a dependent
For food or even for jewel
Dependent they are on you for long
Scared they get of your freedom
As they would have none to dominate
Embrace the power, strength and spark
Hail it, young ladies out there
the strength you hold needs recognition.
A salute to all women there
From one who was born yesterday
To one’s adoring a crown silver.
