I write this verse to say to all
All women who might read
That you are loved and treasured
Despite what you might feel
We sometimes fail to let you know
How proud we are of you
We treat you like you don’t exist
We fail to recognise
We take for granted all you give
And all you do for us
We treat you like a lesser being
Because you are a woman
This is not right, it can’t be so
All men must now wake up
And recognise what God has given
Is equal in every way
What I can do you also can
You also think and say
What’s on your mind and in your heart
No different to a man
No man is better or above
And has no right to claim
That woman is inferior
A lesser being than man
Today I ask that all men strive
To give the love that’s due
To show respect and recognise
The rights that women have
To give them fair and equal rights
To help them if required
To honour, cherish and respect
The women in your life
They all deserve so much love
For all they do for us
So give today in every way
Love, respect and honour
