Dear Woman

Dear Woman, 
Don’t ever forget that you are strong and courageous in life 
You are never less than any man and
you were not raised to be just a wife 
You can bear children but that should always be your decision, 
Invest in yourself, educate yourself and inspire a generation

Dear Woman, 
You were probably the first lady in your family to go to university, 
You were probably also the first in your community who stood up to patriarchy
You were always conditioned to break the glass ceiling,
So chin up , Head high and go get your deserving 

Dear Woman, 
Don't let a man break your heart over his petty lies,
Don't fall for just his charming words and pretty eyes,  
Your man should be your equal companion who is kind ,
respectful and can stand beside you in this grind,
He should be honest, encouraging and not afraid of you spreading your wings
and loving every incredible part of your being, cheering till end of time rings.
