I share this piece as tribute to all the beautiful women around the world. The gift from the heavens, the ones who make the world spin.
True. It is difficult to picture a successful society without women.
Women are sisters, the beautiful daughters of Zion that colour the world.
Women are wives, supporting their husbands in the pursuit of the family vision.
Perhaps a famous West African comedian put it best in describing women.
Everything about them starts with ‘W‘, he said.
At their best
They are Wise,
When they are married
They are wives
And when deceased
Widows
And yes,
At their worst
They are witches
And hell hath no fury
if they are scorned
They can be wicked
But guess who runs the world?
I guess Beyonce only sang it too well…
No pun intended, but women are indispensable to our world.
As a society, we must love our women.
We must regard them as partners, and equally support them pursue and achieve their aspirations.
And so today, and throughout we celebrate them. And salute their example and courage. And acknowledge that indeed, God was right, our world can’t breath without women. Its true, women are the ribs of society!
Happy Women’s day, and Women’s month to all!
