She was born in this world
With wide open arms,
She cried at first
then smiled at last
Fear was unknown
Fierce she was -
A lady in the making
Rutilant she was
No-one could tie her
to orthodox views
or persistent patriarchy
that saturated this world
Calm she stayed
whatever come may
She battled all odds
each day, every day
Her will exceeded
her strength,
Always ready
for every challenge
Bravely she faced
all circumstance
and did not leave
anything to Chance
She had the will
to be strong and still
in the face of
greatest upheaval
Unhindered by any
situation, that is dark
Fighting and surviving
gave her a spark
Her desire -
to make a mark
in this ephemeral life,
If needed to tread
alone and survive
Her desire -
to be a Woman
of her own volition,
To be independent and equal
to every other human!

Every girl deserves to be herself. The change to create an 'equal for all' society needs to begin at our homes...
