By Sunday Afolayan
Like the pleasant sweetness of roses
And the attractive fragrance of attar
Women reflect the power of kindness
Springing forth the freshness of morning dew
They're the mirror of the goodness of nature
Whose love overflows with milk to nurture
The heart that beats the beauty of creation
The pride of mankind, a blessing to humanity
Women are endowed by nature, not by chance
They're catalyst of change, of progress of freedom
They're the helpmate the Scriptures foretold
That stand by men in seasons and yeartide
Now that you're being celebrated across the globe
May your fire never die, your light never dim
May you remain in peace and soundness of mind
May God bless you for us on earth and even beyond.
