Thank you for the honor and your hard work.
Acrostic
INTERNATIONAL WOMEN’S DAY
Intelligent, introspective, interesting,
Nurturer, negating violence’s never ending cycle,
Tears of joy and fear, silently leak
Engaged in a society whose fairly
Regarded as the epitome of civility,
Narrowly forgetting equality, except when the
Anvil drops and wakes its conscience,
Teaming life into depravity, while
Inculcating values whose immorality
Overwhelms family ethics,
National, communal compassion whose
Acerbic intention is nothing but discipline,
Love, appreciation of self and other.
Woman, worry not, your nature elevates,
Overwhelms others into a state of
Meaningful existence, unrepentant,
Empowered, independent, confident,
Nurtured and nurturing as
Simply, only she can.
Daily schedule, work, mother, daughter,
Aunt, friend, wife, all are one, woman,
Your input is invaluable, unforgettable.
