Scars of a Woman

The bruises and burns From her cooking and washing pots and pans Her former hands, so dainty and soft Have now become coarse and calloused Scars from knives on her hands and her thighs Cuts from slicing dicing and splicing Several produce and foods to provide nourishment for you Yet you disregard her efforts and don't appreciate her when due Wives, daughters and sisters everywhere We were always seen as the 'weaker sex' But we rose and fought our best To be admired and looked upon with respect. We succeeded and made the world realise That women aren't only knowledgable kitchen-wise We have gifts talents, achievements and dreams Which makes the world better more than. those can believe. Happy Women's day to all my wonderful females We are worth more than rubies and are as competent as the males I'm proud of all of you for the battles you fought Let your smile shine brightly like a beacon come forth. Happy Women's Day

Dear Erica, Your poem celebrates the triumphs and achievements of women, highlighting their multifaceted talents and invaluable contributions to the world beyond domestic roles. It serves as a powerful banner of the worth and capabilities of women, deserving of admiration and equal treatment in all spheres of life. I have three daughters and now 3 granddaughters and no sons or grandsons. I champion the women in my life to be who they choose to be. Thanks for your strong message and I will get my daughters to read. - Blessings, Daniel
