Women-Agents of Change
As you leave the gates of higher learning
Full of ambition, the world your playground
Let not the lure of ecstasy blind you
For you have attained a gift to rival all tools
As family and well wishers bid you farewell,
Now that you are a wife to a husband
Let it not be forestalled the visions of your desires
For you have already mapped the destiny of your capabilities
As you give birth to life, what a miracle
A being in need of your love, care and nurturing
Let that be a reminder of the legacy you’ll leave behind
For through your deeds they surely shall aspire
As you reflect back on your achievements in life
In old age, watching the world evolve around you
Let it not be a secret you take to the grave
The wisdom, rich in contend, for it is the basis of a good foundation for generations to come
It is without question the greatest desire
An equal platform of fairness is required
A mutual memorandum of equal opportunity
For negligence of equality is the stupidity of man
We have gained great strides in blinding storms
Against the currents of oppression, doubt and isolation
Never forgetting that we are the agents of change
For greatness is gained by overcoming challenges
No challenge is bigger than the will of God
No obstacle a punishment but a lesson from above
Women are Mother Nature’s protectors on earth
As sure as it is their destiny to succeed in their endeavours
