Beata Agustin Poet Ode

We Salute You, Dear Women

We commend you, beloved women*... grateful to God for your roles
Enabled as life-builders by His grace and love
Blessed to help shape grand future with His might
Privileged to lead toward enlightenment by His wisdom
Upheld to aid family needs thru His guidance! 

We salute you, honourable Mrs./Miss  ... deserving to receive
“Happy Women’s Day” tokens as Moms, sisters, teachers, friends
Midst family members with their satisfaction-approval
Of your community involvement causing development-ripple
In a crowd of men with jubilant mirth for your work well done!

We appreciate you, dear ladies: our mothers and lady mentors
Exemplars of genuine servant-leadership 
Role-models beyond reproach by your fervent faith and testimony
Paragons of excellence in terms of sacrifice and contentment
Who walk your talk leaving a legacy, worthy of acknowledgment.

*Proverbs 31:30 “Favour is deceitful, and beauty is vain: but a woman that feareth the LORD, she shall be praised.”

Wendy Watson February 17, 2019 at 3:13 AM Much food for thought in these high aspirations of womanhood,Beata.By God's grace you would seem by your poetry content to be just such a role model for those around you. Best wishes Wendy
