Tribute To Women

To you, O women great, in obeisance, I bow, For your primary forms of mother, sister, mate; Full of love, patience, kindness and compassion, how, The almighty has adorned you with goodness great; As planners and arrangers, today, you excel, As big bosses chiefs and heads, powers vast you wield; Teachers, officers, authors - In all you seem good, Care, caution and concern - with you go very well, As economists, to homes and globe, wealth you yield; In your head and heart, virtues reside as they should...! Incarnation of love! You’re my inspiration! Visionary you are; your views always outshine; So beautiful! True jewel of any nation! In forms of goddess, you dwell-in many a shrine; Your perfection permeates limits of the sky, Your determination deepest of depth pierces; In patience is like the forbearing mother earth! Your optimism outgrows the very palm tree, high, Your trustworthiness, every painful hearts, nurses, Honesty and loyalty, in you, find no dearth...! In integrity, O women, you're never less, Sense of wit and humor in life you never lack; With grace of forgiveness you raze all hatred-mess, Your nature of nurturing heals each psychic crack; Your encouragements make the humanity grow; Your fun and frolics, happiness in hearts, blossom, In facing hardest of challenges, you've no match! Thoughts and feelings in you, like the gentlest breeze, blow, There lies constant comfort in your benign bosom; Wisdom and wit, with you, merrily, get attach...! You've been the source of all human origin, Wombs that have given birth to global history; In, form of, immaculate virgin with no sin, You've brought the redeemer, full of mystery; It's hence; I extol you, dear women, to the heights, Strength and power of the universe hides in you; Creating, protecting, destroying each power! Hills mountains, vales, landscapes and all marvelous sights, Earth and ether were born by feminine strength too, My wish is to be your friend each-and-every hour...! 23 March 2022 TRIBUTE TO WOMEN Poetry Contest Sponsored by: Beata Agustin
