Women 
By Michelle Morris

Women of the world, take a moment for yourselves,
Remember who you are and that 
you count as well...

You spend so much time looking after the needs of others,
And often forget that you are more than wives and mothers...

Being women, we have the tigress spirit within,
We always protect our loved ones from danger and dark things...

We put ourselves on the line, halt our personal progress and joy - we do all we can to ensure that the ones we care for are spared...

All across the world and in every nation, 
Women are the lifeblood of the home and hearth and station...

For without women, peace and love would surely falter;
Flowers would be less abundant and home life likely halted... 

So, women, don't forget that you are deserving of grace and love as well;
Rest and take care of yourselves for a well deserved spell...
