Dear WOMAN: An Ode to Womanhood (by Ebenezer Akinrinade)

Dear Woman,

Your beauty, your radiance,

Your strength, your sweetness,

The totality of your being,

All that is embodied in your feminity

Speaks of GOD's infinite creativity.

You are more than you know.

You are perfect, you are whole.

Dear Woman,

You are the builder, the nurturer,

Daughter, sister, wife and mother.

Without you, there is no completeness.

You are a lover, carer, shaper and moulder.

Every fibre with which you are wired

Is a miracle — you are a wonder!

You carry yourself with grace,

Unshamed by failures and pains.

You trump mountains on your way

Wearing your scars like medals.

You are unbothered by naysayers

Their words makes you stronger.

Dear Woman,

There is healing in your touch

There is power in your words.

You are water.

You are fire.
