An Ode to a Woman!

Here is a beautiful poem written by my best friend and sister, Ruchi! The poem describes exactly what every woman feels!!! I really liked it. I read this poem over and over again, because I felt touched. I myself sometimes feel just the way her poem describes a woman.

 

Need a sky to fly, need a river to flow

Need a song to sing, need the light to glow.

I have sorrows, I posses the pains

But I own the legs to run the plains

The eyes may burn, the heart may churn

But with my courage, heads I will turn!

The mountains are steep and the winds cut cold

Yet the "REAL ME" within I hold!!
