International Women’s Day: A Poem For You

This one’s for the women, for all our girls…

Happy International Women’s Day to you, you priceless treasures, you exquisite pearls.

Today is a special one to celebrate you and all you are. To celebrate the tall ones, small ones and somewhere in between ones. The extroverts and introverts, the ones with joys and ones with hurts.

To celebrate the sporty and the musical. The creatives and academics. The cartoon lovers or make-up fanatics. The fashionistas and the book readers. The dancers and comedians. The ones dreaming big dreams and the ones who humbly focus on being an incredible friend. To your beauty there is no end.

For every girl, for every woman. We see you. We value you. We celebrate you and we love you. For you. 

You in all your fullness, you are a true wonder. No one else can be you. You far outnumber any price you’re given. Because nothing can match the goodness that’s hidden within you. 

This world is better with you in it, with your radiant light.

So here’s to another year of cheering each other on to keep being infectiously bright.
