To all the women I’ve been blessed to know – my late mother, wife, daughter, aunts, cousins, teachers, colleagues, artistes, family and friends – Happy Women’s Day to all of you – and here is my sincere attempt at Verse, for all of you!

Women’s Day – 2018

****

Some women are celebrated everywhere,

And are part of history and folklore!

But I think it is the everyday women in our lives,

Who ought to be celebrated more and more!

 

Women leaders, achievers and winners,

Please do celebrate all of them for sure!

But don’t forget to celebrate the women,

Who make our lives so pristine and pure!

 

Mental fortitude, quiet determination,

We learn a lot of that from you women!

Resilience, courage and conviction,

And a lot more, that we really owe to you women!

 

So many women are true role models,

Whom we should always respect and admire!

As they juggle multiple roles with ease and aplomb,

And yet, never fail to smile and inspire!

 

As you endeavor to make this world a better place,

Wishing a very Happy Women’s Day to all of you!

And my gratitude and respect is not just for today,

But will always be there, for all of you!
