Proud to be a Woman

THIS ONE IS DEDICATED TO MY MOTHER. Mother: "M" is for the MILLION things she gave me, "O" means only that she's growing OLD, "T" is for the TEARS she shed to save me, "H" is for her HEART of purest gold, "E" is for her EYES, with love-light sh

Proud to be a WOMAN

 

I bring happiness and brightness

I bring smiles and I spread them 

 

I take pain and I give life

I smile and I endure

 

I am patient and I control my anger

I am tender and yet I am strong

 

I give love and I spread warmth

I am not respected and I am degraded

 

I am hurt and yet I go on

I work day and night

 

To see my family happy

I sweat and I bleed

 

Irrespective of caste and creed

I am the symbol of love

 

Yet I am not loved enough

I do deserve a lot more than a pint of respect

 

But I expect none in return

I do not expect lavishes and luxury

 

I do not expect diamonds and pearls

I do not expect silks and satin

 

Nor do I expect publicity and praises

The only thing I expect in return

 

is your smile and your well-being.

You may be wondering who am I

 

Well...is it so hard to even guess who am I?

I am a daughter and I am a sister

 

I am a friend and I am a wife

I am also a mother along with the others.

 

But most of all I am a woman,

And I am proud to be a woman.

 

Hats off, to my mother and all the women out there who have been strong pillars all through these years in our lives.
To the women who work during the day and who manage their home and families after coming home from work.
To the women who toil night and day to keep their family comfortable and to fill their kids' hungry stomachs.

So beautifully expressed, so powerfully communicated... Your words do what is near impossible... bring us face to face with life, and love, and joy... that of a mother, daughter, sister, friend... that of a woman... in some cultures worshipped and in others reviled, but always the givers of life... So well done!

Very powerful. Heartfelt. Did you know that when you take the word MOM and turn it upside down, you get the word WOW ?! :) I was close with my mother. She was like this poem. Keep on writing. Can't wait to read more of your great work...I'm hooked!

Bravo... women deserve so much more respect then they get... a man who doesn't appreciate the heart of a great woman is the worlds biggest fool. Beautifully penned and great tribute to women all over the world.
