HERE'S TO THE WOMAN

HERE'S TO THE WOMAN
Who knows where she's going
And will keep on until she gets there;
Who knows not only what she wants from life
But what she has to offer in return...

HERE'S TO THE WOMAN
Who guides and inspires
Not by quoting others philosophies but by living her own good example;
Who accepts both victories and disappointments with the same grace,
And who can rise above life's challenges and move on...

HERE'S TO THE WOMAN
Who has walked through her past and healed into the present
Who authors her own life
A woman who exerts, initiates and moves on her own behalf
Who refuses to surrender to anything other than her truest self and her wisest voice.

HERE'S TO THE WOMAN
Who gives the gifts of her thoughtfulness,
Who shows her caring with a word of support, her understanding with a smile;
A woman who brings joy to others
Just by being herself...

HERE'S TO THE WOMAN
Who honours her experience and tells her story
Who trusts and respects herself
Who listens to her needs and desires
And meets them with tenderness and grace..

HERE'S TO THE WOMAN
Who doesn’t need an elder brother or a lover to protect and support her
Who is convinced that she deserves only the best
And challenges herself to give the best
A woman who is not afraid to take chances...

HERE'S TO THE WOMAN
Who wields power in the world that tries to limit her
Who rebels when her power is stigmatised and creativity disdained
Who resists power and overthrows oppressive traditions and regimes
Who breaks the rules in defiance to injustice

HERE’S TO THE WOMAN
Who was once denied even the smallest happiness or liberty
Who wished to live the dreams she dreamed
A woman who broke all the inhuman and false barriers
To live the life of free will and sketch her own destiny


HERE’S TO THE WOMAN
Who rejoices her womanhood
Who reminds herself of her worrth whenever she forgets
Who knows that her hearts strength is her true power
A woman whose strengh superceedes her weaknesses

HERE'S TO THE WOMAN
Who celebrates the accumulation of her years and wisdom
A woman of the world
A woman of today
A woman in power..
