Happy International Women's Day 🎉

 


To all the queens 👑 in the world;

May the source of what makes you YOU never run dry,

May you always have strength, 

Joy, 

Motivation, to rock your crown and command this Earth that is your throne.

May your wisdom continually stun the world,

May your beauty be renewed daily, likewise your charm,

May the world always look at you and marvel at the grace of a being you are,

 May we stay winning. 

Happy International Women's Day 🥂🎉❤️

This poetry by MAYA ANGELOU  is dedicated to us all.


Pretty women wonder where my secret lies,

I'm not cute or built to suit a fashion model's size,

But when I start to tell them,

They think I'm telling lies.


I say,

It's in the reach of my arms,

The span of my hips,

The stride of my step,

The curl of my lips.

I'm a woman,

Phenomenally, Phenomenal woman. That's me.


I walk into a room

Just as cool as you please,

And to a man,

The fellows stand or

Fall down on their knees.

Then they swarm around me,

A hive of honey bees.


I say,

It's the fire in my eyes,

And the flash of my teeth,

The swing in my waist,

And the joy in my feet.

I'm a woman. Phenomenally, Phenomenal woman. That's me.


Men themselves have wondered

What they see in me,

They try so much

But they can't touch

My inner mystery.

When I try to show them,

They say they still can't see.


I say,

It's in the arch of my back,

The sun of my smile,

The ride of my breasts,

The grace of my style.

I'm a woman. Phenomenally, Phenomenal woman. That's me.


Now you understand

Just why my head's not bowed,

I don't shout or jump about

Or have to talk real loud.

When you see me passing,

It ought to make you proud.


I say,

It's in the click of my heels,

The bend of my hair,

the palm of my hand, 

The need for my care.

‘Cause I'm a woman. Phenomenally, Phenomenal woman. That's me.
