International Women’s Day.

This is my personal contribution to the celebration of International Women’s Day.This poem was written in Toronto, Canada in 1992.To the women of the world who still fight to keep their inner balance in  various societies where they are not valued I say :Keep on fighting for your rights .The day of  justice is near .Love yourselves.Keep spreading love .It is the only way to secure our victory.

                                I   Am   a  Woman                            

In my veins courses the blood of many generations.

My womb is the cradle of  life.

My arms hold the lover gently

And my sensitive soul gives him warmth.

My hands lovingly hold the new born

And my bosom gives comfort as I provide the milk of life.

My spirit keeps the flame of love alive

As I strengthen the family ties.

My vision creates a balance of love and justice

As I help build a better world.

I am a woman.
