Today was International Womens Day


Women Rise

We have strength to stand tall,
do count us, count one and all.

Don't extinguish the fire in our eyes
nor look down, we are not small.

Born equal, to grow and flourish,
listen to our voices, hear us call.

Don't crush our spirit, set us free,
no backs will be against your wall.

The skylark sings as she rises,
all, together, we will never fall.
