Poetry Prompt #8
To the Women Who Have Helped Us
A reflection
To all those women who push us Who motivates us to go above and beyond
It’s you who we thank
Your endless inspirational talks How you go out of your way for us
You who takes care of an army without a doubt Who inspires by their own actions Who moves mountains with persistence
Who works endless hours Who thinks of others
Thank you for all that you’ve done You are our own heroes in disguise
We should applaud you more! Here’s to all of you who make the world a better place!
Reflect on where you are right in this exact instant… How did you get here? Who are the people that helped you and motivated you to be where you are right now?
Imagine you are one step towards the finish line of a big milestone…think back at all the guidance you’ve received…
Do you acknowledge each and every one of them?
After International Women’s Day, I would like you to reflect on the following matter:
Who are the women that marked your life for the better? When did it happen? Who is the motivational woman? Is it your 4th-grade teacher, your tutor, your mother, or is it your sister? What did she/they do? Do you try to pass on their guidance with your own actions?
I would like to invite you all to write a poem about the prompt mentioned above!
