Another Women’s Day has just gone by

The social media made a hue and cry

Cheers and praises for your persistence

Kudos for all your endurance

Oh Women, the world acknowledged your existence!

 

Verses on the beauty of your eyes grew viral,

Novels featuring your sacrifices, truly phenomenal

Tweets celebrating your pain and strain won hashtags

Movies where you cried and died turned blockbusters

Oh Women, the world acknowledged your existence!

 

Celebrities debated on gender equality

Boutiques spread out pink gowns in gaiety

Political parties added your needs to their manifesto

TRPs of the shows featuring you, skyrocketed, hey presto!

Oh Women, the world acknowledged your existence.

 

Husbands certified your long haul

Children hugged you tight with a sweet soul

Employers sang praises of your uphill battle

Parents still thought you were cute and little

Oh Women, today, you exist for sure to the world!

 

Now, let’s begin dreaming a world, not too distant

Where women do not just exist, but lead

With your empathy and intuition as blessings

With the same devotion and nurture as you dote on your babies

Oh Women, lead the world to peace and unity!

 

May every team, firm or state thrive in your hands

Let all living beings feel loved under your wings

Pray, the Mother Earth blossom in harmony

Let empathy, values and humanity drive the economy

Oh Women, be the leaders of the world!

 

Expand your horizons and choose to fly high,

For it’s not just your family who needs you near by

The whole wide world is in dire need of you!

Oh Women, don’t settle for a mere acknowledgment

Be the light that shines the world!
