Female Warrior

By S Varshini

She who is called soft and sensitive,

Look at the rugged wounds that made her sportive,

She who is told to adjust and compromise,

Isn't it her to whom one turns for advise,

She who is chided for being chatty and annoying,

Her company is what we wish for life to be enjoying,

She who is scorned upon for being dull and dark,

It is her whose achievement is radiant as a spark,

She who is called proud and selfish,

Ask about her compassion that so many cherish,

She who is desired for her appearance and frame,

Have you ever noticed how sharp is her aim?

Hey spirited woman - know that your talents are abound,

Your relentless energy is what keeps the world going around,

You steer the boat on which all your loved ones’ sail,

Without your stellar presence how will life prevail.
