Lets Encourage and Inspire Women

I have met too many women who trade what they want 
To please a man
Either their father or their lover 
Sometimes their husband

I ask them “What do you want?”
They have no idea.
They had buried their dreams so deep 
They could no longer access them.

I have encouraged these women to try and remember.
I have driven these women to junior colleges.
I have waited for these women outside financial aid offices.
I have encouraged these women to retain their dreams.

There is nothing more delightful or insightful
Than a woman who is fulfilled and enthusiastic about life.
Than a woman who is shining her light for all of the world to see
Let’s band together and encourage and inspire and raise these women.

I absolutely agree, Caren. Frankly, if we had more women in leadership positions in our government we'd be much better off. That's my opinion! No woman should ever have her dreams and her visions taken away from her.

It is sad to me when I see them willingly hide their light under another person's bushel.
