The You within
I dedicate this day, to those women
Who faced domestic violence and abuse
And went into a silent recluse
For the sake of their family and children.
I dedicate this day, to the women wronged
Who smiled, wading through fears and tears
Bore the brunt of violence with silence,
Unsure if their stand was weak or strong.
I dedicate this day, to those bread winners
To the lustre-lost women- to all the mothers
Who fended for love all these years
Abandoned, unappreciated- Life's reminders.
I dedicate this day- to those roses of every hue
Who carried on- ensconcing worries with smiles
Myriad emotions-camouflaged without a clue
Waging her wars all alone -against human viles.
Great women - at different walks of life
Each trying to carve a niche of her own
Appreciate her- give her the dignity
May the 'She' in her blossom from within.
Happy Women's Day.
