TRIBUTE TO WOMEN CONTEST by Beata Agustin

Tribute To Women

Mother Nature, Athena and Mother Earth
Apply wisdom and beauty to life
they're icons whose bounty has infinite worth
offering sustenance throughout strife

Mother Mary grants us mercy and love 
Our flag; long may she wave
Venus, the love god, shines above
Amazon women; so strong and brave

Accolades for such women never cease
Their value cannot be denied
Noble women of love, courage and peace
who we admire and in whom we confide

But women who aren't symbols, myths or gods
are never so grandly exalted
they may have value no one ever lauds
But for our original sin are faulted

This tribute is to women, here on earth
Thank you for your guidance and love
And for providing the gift of birth

'Labor Day' should be all about women, methinks! Touche, Robert!

Your last line sums this up brilliantly Robert. A beautiful tribute to women. Women compliment men as they compliment us. I wouldn’t want to live in a world without both. Happy Easter. Blessings xxoo
