International women's day

In every step, a dance of grace, Women stride with steadfast pace. Through trials faced, they rise above, With strength and courage, boundless love.

In every word, a song of power, Their voices echo, hour by hour. They speak of dreams and hopes untold; with wisdom’s touch, their stories unfold.

In every heart, a flame aglow, A beacon shining, aglow with hope. They nurture dreams, they light the way, Guiding others through night and day.

In every soul, a spirit strong, Resilient, resilient against all wrong. They stand as one, in unity, A force for change for equality.

So here’s to women, near and far, Shining brightly like a guiding star. On this day, we honor thee, For all you are, and all you’ll be.
