Ode to A Woman

Long long ago in The Garden of Eden, God created A Man. He sat back to admire his creation. He looked and he looked.
"I can do much better than that," He said.
And then He created A Woman! :)

Happy Women`s Day, People.

Here`s hoping for Liberty,Justice and Equality For All!

Let me end on a bright note,with an all-time fav Billy Joel song - She`s Always a Woman to Me

This song is a true Ode to a Woman - There`s a kind of bitter-sweet tinge to the song. A delicious cynicism perfectly balanced with admiration.

This song makes me feel strong. It makes me feel beautiful. That is what womanhood should be all about, dont you think?

Hey, Happy Women's Day. Can't really agree with the little anecdote you started off with. I firmly believe men and women are equal. Each with his/her own strengths. And I am certainly not a feminist. But yes, I do like it if men pamper women on Women's day. Their own women, of course ;-))

Piper .. said...

My space, Amrita: to you too :):)

Writerzblock : The anecdote was supposed to be be a joke! :):) Though I must confess that I like to believe I`m a feminist, though sometimes in the flow of life, I tend not to be one.. thinking of doing a blog on this sometime..

Mamma mia! Me a mamma? said...

Bit late in wishing you, but may all your days be filled with beauty and strength. Revel in it...you are woman, you are you!
