Written In Gold

Remember the women who came before you.
The ones that carried the weight of the world
On their shoulders. The ones who walked so
You could run. The ones who built bridges
So you could walk over them. The ones who
Gave birth to you so you could breathe and
Be thankful you are alive. They have given
Their blood, sweat and tears so you could
Continue the cycle. They left footprints for
You to follow yet you can forge your own
Path. They left their words and stories so you
Do not forget their legacy. They shed their
Tears so you could continue to protest and fight.
You think they are made of gold but the truth is
That you are written in pure gold, never forgotten.
