What A Woman

the International Women's Day.

What manner of woman is this?

When she walks, she walks phenomenally.

When she sprinkles her sunshine,

And weaves her unique touch of magic,

She molds her own shrine

Where she makes the lonely a homie,

And gets the isolated homely.

When she makes an entry,

Even the hopeless dare to breathe.

The aura

She exudes redeems the weak.

What manner of woman

Heals all within

The stretch of her arms?

She's a mother,

She's a daughter,

She's a sister,

She's a friend,

She's a lover,

And a leader.

She won't bend

To get you over.

But she'll lend a hand

To help you stand tall.

She's the manner of woman

Ready to take the world,

By its balls.
