A Celebration of Womanhood
It was a fiery June afternoon,
Please let it be a boy,
Please let it be a boy.
The stork was to come, soon!
It was the second time,
he already had a daughter.
Like the desert asked for water,
“a boy, a boy”, he would chime!
They said she did not cry much,
and brought a smile on his face,
When for the first time, he saw her decked in lace.
He wouldn’t need a boy, her radiance was such!
Two decades and still going strong,
He smiles because he knows -
Tt was a good thing, and the happiness shows.
A girl, he says, has proved him wrong!
He, once for all she did, called her “the son”.
She wouldn’t take it that way,
Daughter papa, NOT a son as you say…
For only a daughter can do what I have done!
***************************
The epitome of love and that of sacrifice,
For the happiness of others and there’s no vice.
With a strong head, and a commanding walk,
Everyone seeks to listen, when they talk.
They wake, and cook, and work till dusk,
Come home and clean and crack the husk.
The strength inherent, the power to lead,
They are the women of today, His best deed.
Yet, there are many - beaten each day
They wake, and cook and work in their hay.
Where is the respect that they deserve?
From the men whom they don’t forget to serve.
A girl is raped, killed, being succumbed to fantasies,
Yet the nation watches, seven years past the obscenities.
They have come a long way and yet a long way to advance,
They are the women of today, dignity is their stance.
A day, a week, a month isn’t enough to celebrate - said Pri
How true! Freedom and no strings should be the decree.
Her celebration of womanhood, I continue.
lets face it, if not for a woman - you wouldn’t have been you!
hi me first and that too after reading both of them. Loved the first on, its so true for me too. the second one is brilliant. thanks for my name there.
read it again Kaush and loved it all over again. fantastic.
[Priyangini] — your poem was the inspiration behind this one! I read yours and these words just started flowing…thanks to you and your brilliant poem!!! and I think you can relate to the first one like I do then! Its a great feeling and with that comes the sense of self worth and the confidence that there is much we can achieve!
A woman to another
