A WOMAN SHE IS
By Angel Bansal

Gifted by God was she, a shining star
To a society where equality to girls was still far

Her birth was too, an event hard
For her father opposed the cry of a girl in his yard

Being blamed for every loss her family faced,
The little one was hence 'unlucky' named

She was made to work at the age of 8
But to be a rising star was written in her fate

Education was miles apart
For hard-won food was also dependent on the cruel heart

With fears abound, laid her life
But soon she decided to change her plight
With books from scrap she learned to read and write
And went on to become an idol, for those who wished to shine bright

Just like a small bud, she blossomed beautifully
Into a woman full of confidence, courage and glory

Married was she to a man unknown
But the stranger became the reason of her happiness grown

It was he who helped her reach high
And become a doctor upon whom the world could rely

Today, she is a woman proudly known
And for her children she is the backbone

Her untold story has now been revealed
To inspire women who are in need.
