Heroes and Mothers

Women in humble homes should be revered
when with their children they spin dreams
of their future greatness in ethics and creed
to achieve what they left for motherhood

for healthy sons and daughters
they toil with love always unseen
their looks judged as beauty fades
as they turn homes into the family haven

their heads may know no crowns
nor will they ever lead great nations
but within their love future seeds
of leaders and greatness reside

fathers may leave absconding from duties
but mothers stand strong despite tears
strength dredged from bottomless dedication
to go through what fate has assigned

Women, gentle hands that can be hard as steel
loving words that can roar into a storm
voices that can change the norms
even by refusing to give up a seat in a bus

Listen, World, regard us respectfully
for we are women and we are Many
