“How I wish I was like the water,
Flowing so freely with every drop
Let my every emotion wonder,
No need to start, nor even stop
How I wish I was like the fire,
Burning with every flame up
Leaving a trace of hot desire
As a Phoenix raises its' wings up
How I wish I was like the earth,
Raising each flower from the ground
Seeing the beauty of death and birth
And then returning to the ground
How I wish I was like the wind,
Hearing each whisper, sound and thought
A lonesome and wandering little wind,
Shattering all that has been sought
Oh, how I wish I was where you are,
Not separated by empty space, so far
It seems like we're galaxies apart,
But we find hope within our heart
And how I wish I was all of the above,
So I can come below and yet forget,
The beauty of angels which come down like a dove
And demons who love with no regret.”

Can be skilled and educated.
Can be empowered and given opportunities.
Can be respected and be credited.
Can be loved and valued.
Can have their choices and opinion .
Can have their privacy and freedom.
Cannot be policed nor by their looks, clothes or behavior.
Can take accountability and responsibility for their actions.
Can own up to their decision.
To all women out there.
Happy International Women's Day
We love and appreciate you.”

I am absolutely persuaded that I am nothing in this universe; yet I feel that mine is the only real existence.”
