Self Respect and Strength

Self-Respect and Strength

A woman is no one’s possession, nor anyone’s right to claim.
She is pride, self-respect, and dignity beyond a name.
A woman is a symbol of strength, of courage and grace,
She is glory, wisdom, and compassion in every place.

Farsighted and thoughtful, with a heart full of care,
She carries knowledge, kindness, and wisdom everywhere.
She is beauty and gentleness, patient and strong,
An embodiment of resilience that carries her along.

Without a woman, where would existence be?
Without her, where would the human world be?
When Brahma, Vishnu, and Mahesh bow before the Divine,
And surrender before Shakti, the eternal power divine,
What strength does a human possess, what claim can one make,
To refuse to bow before the woman, for goodness’ sake?

A woman is the embodiment of love,
A blessing from the heavens above.
Shaped and strengthened by the trials of life,
She transforms every struggle, every wound, every strife.

A woman gives us life and a purpose worth living,
She teaches us compassion, courage, and the art of giving.
Without a woman, where would life truly be?
Without her, where would humanity be?

Whoever understands a woman’s true worth,
Has understood the deeper meaning of life on Earth.
