Thank You Women

Women rise not only when needed but when noticing
Things need to be changed, 
Wanting more fairness, more community, 
Inspired by hope, and joy, 
Wanting to better the future for their children's children

Women take the lead when pushed by feelings,
Knowing they are raising heroes and heroines
Wanting to inspire them 
Saturating them with empathy and love
Wanting to make the world a safer, and more honest place

Women take the helm and steer the pirate ships
Through the muddiest, murkiest, most maniacal months
Wanting to better the world, and make it safe
Bringing positivity, optimism, and faith 
Back in buckets, to be dispersed lavishly 

Thank you women, for making the world what it is today.
