Who can't she be? The barrel of hope that quenches thirsts What can't she do? The blessed palm tree A versatile soul A super model touching hearts Her feet are swift to the place of peace And with nimble hands She builds the world
Oh what a marvelous sight! Seeing the woman in overall Climbing and busying to build a mansion Oh what a wonder! Dragging the net to the shore with a catch The lady with machete tilling the ground A sight to behold at the call of harvest
Have you looked for doctors, or seasoned engineers And not seen her?
Did you search for presidents and ministers and found her not?
Look again but look well now She stands right by your side She lives in you You never knew And a word or two she may have spoken Shapes your character And brings you laughter
Because she is feminine she is considered weak Because she is a mother They say she has no time She is assertive but they say it's Pride
Her honest cries are hardly noticed Sincere lamentations left in the dark Her tears dry out in the open sea They are lost in a drop, completely forgotten
If only we look deeply in the ocean If only we look with both eyes open We would see that crystal drop of water The ancient mother of daughters and sons The everlasting breast that gives us milk
She is indeed more than the world can see Bigger than the world shows And more powerful than expected
She is human, a unique one See her as such and treat her well Harness the beauty of her passions and save the world Invest in her patience and see her soar
Know this And know well That what women can do, Others can only try
Looking for a superhuman? Searching for a powerhouse? Look for that daughter or sister Mother or auntie
