You are dignity
You are resilience
You personify elegance
So sensual are you
Tolerance are you
Resourceful are you
Confidently you seek
Your own space in a man's world
Confidently you seek
Your own space in a man's world
So tough are you
Yet suppressed are you
Discrimination dogs you
At home, at work and in society
Opportunities are few
To express your view
Yet, you rarely whine
Slog on nevertheless
In temples and churches, worshiped
You venture out in fear
is danger lurking somewhere?
No, not safe at home either
Your own are your tormentors
I wonder, I wonder,
Yes it confounds me
How do you still manage
To smile that beautiful smile
Proud of you, lady
You are a true hero!
They call me brave,
But you know what?
I am not brave enough
To step into your dainty shoes.
