A
woman stood near a flowing stream,
Turmoil filling her head with steam,
Will I be able to achieve my dream,
All I want to do right now is scream,
Wouldn’t it be nice if life was fair,
Still, I will stand up and dare,
Fighting my way right from the womb,
Sure it will end only at my tomb.

Helping hands along the way,
Has kept my troubles at bay,
Love and nurturing care from my mother,
Has made me wholesome and stronger,
Though you are far away,
I know you love me anyway,
My sister is my gift,
My rock, behind the veil of mist.
Besties, I treasure today,
Strengthen my will to foray,
Social issues to care and bare,
Atrocities against us so hard to bear,
Educators pave the way,
NGO’s strive to do wrong away,
If we don’t take apt measures today,
Survival will deplete day by day.

Oh! Help us fight,
Wanna prolong our time of flight,
As the cycle of life whirls round and round,
Women in my life have held their ground,
The base for anything is your home,
It either nurtures or pushes you to doom,
ST.TERESA’S COLLEGE (AUTONOMOUS), ERNAKULAM
Thank you Lord, for all the women in my life today,
Now and in future all the way.
