POETIC TRIBUTE TO WOMEN

I embrace being birthed by a woman
Knowing women, honouring women
As their wisdom enlightens
The inner shadows of the heart.

I embrace being birthed by a woman
Who brought me from her womb
Brushed my shoulder and gave me shelter
When all else seemed uncertain.

I embrace being birthed by a woman
Who never allowed me to journey alone
In times of strife and conflict
Or being dragged through trauma.

Now, as a collective
We embrace
We honour
We salute
Because we are
Because of women
