Just be yourself, O woman dear!
Your role on earth is pre-destined;
But you need not have any fear;
Your duties aren't very stream-lined.
The family needs your love and care;
Do not take undue risks and dare;
Child-bearing is your clear domain;
You are a boon and not a bane.
God made the Eve uniquely so;
Hard-ships, you have to undergo;
You are much greater in some spheres;
Don't copy men, and land in tears.
Like men, you can do many things;
You will be queens and never kings;
Be happy being what you are;
Both sexes are almost at par.
But being feminine is good;
Avoid the traits of male, you should;
A girl is as good as a boy;
All children give their parents, joy.
Let Nature help you in all tasks;
Don't answer queries all, world asks;
Avoid being used and abused;
Let not the female be misused.
Woman, you are uniquely made;
Just heed to what God had you bade;
The world mistreats humans like beasts;
In ruthless cruelty, world feasts.
But history has given you rights;
Yet, time may give you extra frights;
You can do almost anything;
Remember you're female, earthling!
‘Happy International Woman's Day,2016 to all women! '
