International Womens Day

I wake up this morning 
And saw my sweet heart in the kitchen
She been up very early 
Doing her house work and cooking

Shes a good mother and wife
And i just stood in silence looking at her 
Thinking how much she has sacrifice
In The years we've spent together

Some days were diamonds
And some days were black as coal
And when god made her
He destroyed the mold

I ordered flowers for her today
From a flower shop on line
I wanted it to be delivered this morning
And it arrived just in time

She's a woman of very simple means
She was never a " material girl"
Instead of indulging in super facial things
She was more concern of the injustice around the world

When she got the flowers 
She look at me and smiled
I knew she love red roses
Ever since she was a child

Then she told me its " international women's day"
And she's proud of women's accomplishments
From the simple women planting rice in the fields
To the powerful head of states and governments"

Every year since 1909
Women day have been celebrated
Infact women has been the power behind men
Since Adam and eve was created

They are mothers daughters sisters
They are the strenght that behind every good man
They bring happiness hope laughter
They are the pilars of an everlasting foundation

International Women’s Day is a time 
to reflect on progress that women's has 
made in their countries and communities
to call for change and to celebrate acts 
of courage and determination
by ordinary women who have 
played an extraordinary role in the history

Women has been fighting for gender equality since the 1900s
And now its recognised each year on march 8
When the achievements of women
from political to social are being celebrated

Tonight we are going out for dinner
Its just to show how much i appreciates her
And then we will walk under the moon light
And take a ferry ride on the hudson river

Respecting honoring and cherishing a woman
Is the duty of all men every where
And not only for " International women's day"
Its a duty we must perform every day Of The year
