Happy Womens Day:The Beautiful Faith of a Woman

She has patience that defies great despair In the face of age eroding her motherhood, Sarah waited and gave birth to a nation She has penitence that overcomes shame In the face of a cruel death, Magdalene braved the stones and shame and became a saint She has loyalty that is audacious In the face of fear and the disciples going in hiding, Mary and Magdalene stayed by Jesus’ side She can be armless but still walk with defiance In the face of bloodshed and an incarcerated husband, Winnie Mandela fought apartheid for a nation She can switch from polite conductor to tough commandant Carrying brain injuries Harriet Tubman was the female Moses who free slaves with armed invasions Her beautiful face soaks up tears of pain but always shine bright again In the face of a world of turmoil and hate, women give us the beautiful half of humanity Happy women’s day!
