Woman is...

I do not have the words but this Afghan poet does.

Amplify’d from www.awwproject.org
For International Women’s Day

SHE struggles, hungers, cares, and loves.

SHE is the one for whom we never care.

Purity, honesty, then promises and sacrifices.

SHE is the one about whom we never wonder.

Hard work, talent, then intelligence and power.

SHE is the one about whom we never bother.

SHE helps, supports, gives tenderness. HER role.

SHE is the one for whom we never trouble.

SHE is the one who carries us while we are children,

the hands we have when we want to walk,

the guide for how to grow,

the only shoulder we have to cry on.

SHE is the mother,

the daughter,

the wife,

the sister.

Today is the day to speak of her.

SHE is the ONE we call a woman.
