Women’s Issue Feature Poem Debanjana Ghatak

Woman, Answer to the Call of Your Heart

Girl, never stop dreaming your dreams,
They are your stepping stones to achieve your destiny.

Lady, never stop smiling to your heart’s content,
It will set you free and will teach you to embrace prosperity.

Miss, never give up after encountering failures,
They are your pillars to a bright tomorrow.

Girl, never stop praising God for who you are,
He has created you in His own image and called you His own.

Daughter, never stop learning from your mistakes,
They are your faculties, face them and learn from them.

Maiden, never stop listening to the inaudible words spoken by your heart,
It will neither betray you nor will lead you astray.

Sweet lady, never stop speaking for what is just and right,
You will gain acknowledgement for who you are.

Little girl, never stop wandering or keep yourself confined,
You will never grow unless you unbind your wings of exploration.

Woman, never stop fighting for what you deserve,
You are mild, you are meek but not fragile so raise your sword and claim your rights.

Damsel, never stop showcasing your thoughts and talents,
It’s your life so present it as you wish to be.

Lass, never stop loving yourself,
If you don’t, you will never be satisfied or love anyone selflessly.

Girl, never stop being the child you are,
People will scorn and laugh but be yourself and set your heart free.

Woman, the world will stop you but you must answer to the call of your own heart.
