Erica Onwude Poet Rhyme

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

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
