Women

Women today

we are here to share

Women today

we are here to care

for the old and the young

the weak and the strong.

We are here to care

and watch how they fare

our daughters, our sons

our family and everyone

who have suffered the earth

being robbed from the rights

of its birth by

its caretakers, women and men

since humanity began.

what is reaped, is what we sow

so our fears, let go

Women of all ages

it’s times to turn the pages

to learn from our past

to act in the present

and not least or last

to change our future

with Life our best teacher
