Woman

Woman. A five-letter, two-syllable word. We all know the meaning of the word “woman.” We know its presence and importance in our lives. The woman is the giver of life. Thousands of poems were written about women. The woman is cherished and indeed should be cherished. The woman is a mother. Woman is the beginning of all beautiful things. To be a woman means to feel strength and courage. To be a woman means not to give up. The woman is the one who mixes the colors of her soul into life. To say a woman is to gather all the beautiful feelings together. To say woman is to contain the healing power of nature within and to help everyone with that healing power. To say a woman is to bring sunshine wherever she goes. It means to stubbornly keep hope even amid disasters. To be a woman means to rebel against everything, against all order, and everyone. To say a woman is to rewrite the story. And it means to do it with its own rules and great determination. To say woman is to exist. Despite great efforts to make her forget, it means to stand tall and create herself. The woman is a lotus. Despite the marsh she’s in, she stubbornly blooms again and protects her flowers. To say woman is to set boundaries. It means always maintaining these boundaries and not bending them for anyone. It means not compromising her stance. To say woman is to exist beyond all the labels and responsibilities imposed by society, and woman is to exist in a completely different path.

Respectfully to all our women. We are grateful for your existence.
