On Women’s Day 2017

In the clouds

How you know her

Attempt to clip her wings, she climbs to a higher altitude

Try to put her in a box, the box ceases to exist

Try to bury her, she germinates

Try to subdue her light, it blinds you

Attempt to control her, she runs your world

Try to break her, she breaks free

Attempt to shut her down, she reboots

Attempt to suffocate her, she becomes the air you breathe

Try to stop her, she accelerates

Try to alienate her, she discovers herself

Try to humiliate her, she becomes a star

You only are able to do to her what she consents to

And when you encounter her, you will never forget her

***********************************************

Graceful woman

Rise!

Above your fears

From the rubble

Against all odds

Beyond all expectations

To embrace your growth

And shine brightly

Because you are

Nothing short of

A Graceful woman

    Woman is Aweson, a unique being , a shoulder that carries burdens with smiles , a precious heart that bleeds within and still smile at challenges. A friend , a comforter, a nurse, a teacher, a guardian, a gist partner, a driver ,a great cook, a virtuous woman and a prayer warrior etc. May God bless us today and always......
