Woman, the Lighted Candle
Women of the world, my tribute to you!
You are the mother, you are the wife,
You are the daughter, you are the sister!
you are the breath of womanhood! You have
nourished, you have protected ..families,
with your strength, your ability to heal..
Woman, you are the lighted candle which
illuminates world with harmony and peace.
Women of the world, you are ruby-red roses
in flower-gardens, you spread the fragrance
of amaranth emanating from heaven, music from
your harp, serenades magic on the cosmos,
you are the rain which drizzles earth.
Today's modern women or yesteryear's wise,
You are the candle which burns and burns
to ensure love and happiness in the world.
My salute to you, Women empowered, who
ignored all obstacles..epitomes of
intellectual and spiritual virtues,
decided your own path, had your voice heard.
you became creative writers, and teachers,
talented composers, and poets..you became
Joan of Arc, you became Rani Lakshmibai.
You are Marie Curie - the candle which reignites.
Kindness, and compassion - virtues which heal,
virtues turn into bravery when you need.
You have all - You passionately love, nurture,
you fight, you sacrifice, you wipe tears.
Women of the world, believe in yourself...
You are the candle which keeps burning
to shine an aura of light in darkness and despair,
in sorrow, grief, and intense sufferings.
Woman, You are Nature's Supreme Gift!
