Happy Women's Day

A woman is a mystery
And no man in history
Has really understood her

She is an enigma
She is the puzzle
If you follow her lead
Life can be a juggle
But If you don't, life is
one long struggle

An inspiring mother
for your whole life
An understanding sister
In joy and in strife

A perfect wife
There is no such thing
But without her
You are nothing

You are the clay
She is the potter
If you refuse, you're
the lamb for slaughter

If she scolds it's fine
If silent, pray to the divine
If you're ill she is your nurse
Stray and she is your curse

If you are the candle
She is the light
If you are the light
She is the fuse

A poet's rhyme
A painter's muse
But when it comes to shopping
Never ever refuse

An adoring daughter
Is so cool
But think you understand her
You are the fool
If you are the TV
She is your remote
If you are the remote
She is the cell
The day she leaves
Life is an empty shell

So whichever form
she takes
Treat her as a goddess
for your own sweet sake

Happy Woman's Day
