Poem tribute for women's day

I pay tribute to all women in their day

YIELD TRIBUTE

(Arjona Delia)

To all women on this day [March 8th],
I render you this tribute:
for giving your blood,
for giving your life,
for fighting for the cause
– and being indefatigable.

Originators of Life,
your essence shines;
your soft, warm hands
like the sun in its rising.

You shelter us even before we are born,
give protection, well-being;
you are a fountain of purity and power,
of maternal love, of total dedication.

And when trouble surges,
women are fierce as a storm;
or they refresh your soul,
like the spring rain.

Like coffee on winter nights,
or fresh water when you’re parched,
women are your treasure,
providing loving care, peace and consolation.

What would we do if they were not here?!
There would be no Life in this World.
Spouses, mothers, companions and friends in the struggle:
Congratulations to every one of you on this day!

Poem Tribute to Woman

Poem tribute to women. May Women's Day be every day of the year.

TRIBUTE TO WOMAN

(Arjona Delia)

On this day in March [March 8th]
all over the world we recall them,
united, in strength;
our achievement:
that they be recognized.

Many were not treated well,
have been shamed,
have been de-valued
for being Women.

Though we’ve attained much already,
there is still further to go:
there are women suffering violence,
and they are not treated like human beings.

Not all of us are happy
or enjoy equality.
Let us struggle
without letting up,
that we might reach our goal!

We will attain that well-earned day,
one day – perhaps.
But
The Day of All Women
– let such a day be for all time!

women's day poem

Poem against violence against women.

RESPECT ME!
(Arjona Delia)

Respect me!
Don’t you dare hurt me,
I have the right to say no,
You shouldn’t silence me.
My body which is sacred
should be respected,
you cannot force me!

Respect me!
Do not humiliate or overpower me!
You put me in a corner and pin me
you do not let me fly.
I won’t give up,
I will always find a way out,
and you won’t make me shut up!

Respect me!
Do not destroy nor discourage
my different ideas,
do not attempt to confuse me.
Do not imprison my mind,
do not separate me from the people,
you cannot oppress me!

Respect me!
Do no set conditions to me,
respect my decisions,
I have the right to choose.
Do not hurt my feelings,
nor condemn my thoughts,
I want to live in happiness!

Respect me!
I will not bow my head,
sadness won’t win,
I’m not going to give up.
I’ll fight, I promise,
for my right to be respected
to live in freedom!

Respect me!
