#5 Woman Power

Woman Power

She is the power on the field

Whose hard toil yields

Both a source of livelihood

And a sense of satisfaction.

She realizes her potential

Which is unbiased by gender discrimination.

She is driven by self belief

And is supported by unfathomable determination.

Yes, she is the mistress of households.

Please all behold.

With immense courage she lifts herself up

For the task most tough.

Each drop of sweat in her forehead

Is a symbol of her passion

Which can never shatter her

Spirit of driving away commotions.

She draws inspiration from

The animals grazing in the field

Which run where she directs

Like herself by that supreme power

Never ever suppressed by

The responsibilities which she can bear.

This is the quality for which

She is most admired.
