Woman is a piece of diamond or gold.
She fills the world with her beauty.
In her childhood she wins every world
With her sacred smile and her simplicity.
Then like a tiny plant she grows
With some tender green leaves.
When she extends her boughs
She looks so innocent and nice.
In her youth like a darling rose
She expands the petals of her beauty
And spreads her sweet fragrance
In the garden of humanity.
Then she gets married one day
And charms others with her cordiality,
Love, affection, and generosity
And takes almost the whole responsibility.
One day she becomes her babies' mom.
She rears her children and serves her family
From dawn to evening; from dusk to morn
But she doesn't have enough time for herself really.
With Time's movement once she grows old
But she never stops to perform her duty.
Woman is a piece of diamond or gold
She fills the whole world with her love and beauty.

Then she gets married one day And charms others with her cordiality, Love, affection, and generosity And takes almost the whole responsibility. What a beautiful poem you have composed! Absolutely brilliant.

I would like to translate this poem
In the best sense of the word your poem expresses the traditional view of womanhood. There are many women and men in my American society who refuse to accept this tradition because it has been abused in the past, misused by selfish men for their exploitation of women. But as it is expressed in your poem it is pure, wholesome, uplifting and a shining model of a life well-lived. I can see my beloved twin sister in your poem who has been an exemplary wife and mother and very happy for living her life of service to family.
