For international women's day!
We celebrate the trailblazers who fought,
the scientists who studied, and the teachers who taught.

the scientists who studied, and the teachers who taught.
Our mothers, grandmothers, and great grandmas too,
gained more freedom as womens rights grew and grew.
Now it’s my future, to step into the light.
gained more freedom as womens rights grew and grew.
Now it’s my future, to step into the light.
To fight with all of a woman’s might
To claim my equal rights!

ReplyDeleteBRAVA ! BRAVA! Kamala dear,
For your Ditty re IWD this year.
It is definitely clear
That you have courage and no fear
For the future, be it far or near,
To forge ahead like a spear
Go straight forward and never veer
Face life without a tear
Going up front, not the rear.
Yes,you need to change the gear
It will certainly appear
That you and your peer
Will act for women's rights here
And all of us you will endear.
Fouad
