I AM A WOMAN

In memory of the unfortunate victim of gang rape in New Delhi, India

I am not a plant

but a fertile soil

I am not a doormat

but a welcoming breeze

I am not a branch

but a sturdy tree

I am not an object

but the breath of family

I am not a vessel

but the music of life

I am not the darkness

but the radiating light

I am a girl

I am a woman
A daughter
A mother
A sister
A wife

The giver and keeper of life!
