Women's day.

The last article I wrote was actually written on Friday; last week. Me; writing today, makes it 72 or more hours since my last article, as a part-time student; whose classes falls on weekends, you could imagine how busy my weekends would look like. Apart from the busy days since Friday, the inspiration was quite jumbled up, my thoughts just wasn't aligning properly to my words. Well, I'm glad I'm writing today, I've really missed reading people's articles and writing on this platform. I have some stories saved up as draft, was planning to edit and continue the stories today before publishing but then (chuckles), it's our day, oh yes. Today: "March 8, 2022, marks the international women's day." What else could I write about today if not, praises to my gender, they deserve it all. Infact, anyone that says: "to be a woman is a piece of cake, needs to think more deeply."

Women are sweet, they are special, they alone; carry the most responsibility in a home.

A woman's responsibilities:

• Women are keepers: A girl child is responsible for all house chores, she alone; does justice to the dishes, cleans the house, goes to the market to get food, gets back and assists her mum in the kitchen. She does lots more as regards this, if a visitor comes into the house and meets the house messed up, guess who they'll say wasn't properly trained: "definitely the girl child."

• Women produce life: Now, talking about after the girl is all grown up and now married, she alone; who's a woman endures body changes all for the successful birth of her children, women conceive, they carry destinies and generations in their womb, sometimes; it even changes their body form, some women during pregnancy become excessively fat, some; suddenly reduces and gets lean, some; loose their outer beauty and becomes unusually ugly and irritating, while some still maintains their beauty. No matter all these fact, they still conceive and bear children.

• Women go through lots of pains: As a girl child, I know how painful the first day of menstruating can be, I'll clench my stomach, turning and twisting; praying for that day to end. This is just menstrual cramps ooh, I've heard of girls; who during their menses, are always hospitalized and given drips because of how painful it can be, some loose lots of blood during their menses. They feel pains on every part of their body, their body suddenly changes and they become so irritated easily during their menses. So much more to actually say about this, but I won't divulge any further.

• Oh!, What about labour pains: Some women are lucky enough not to go through those stress during child birth, but what about the other ones?. Some women have to go through cesarean section just to birth a child, some women are induced. I know of a woman who; during the birth of her child was induced, all because the child wasn't weighing the amount of kilogram he was supposed to weigh before his delivery and even after she was induced, the child didn't come out until after over 24hours of labour pains, and lots of pushes, the baby just wasn't coming out, they had to forcefully bring out the baby, by tearing up parts of her skin and stitching it back afterwards, it was by God's grace and mercy, that they both came out of it alive. What of women who died during labour? or whose children died during labour?. Oh, let's not go there. Women endure alot of pains.

• They are mothers: After child's birth, they are in charge of training a child, yes, the father also trains, but if a child isn't really brought up well, most people would blame his mother.

• Women are prayer warriors: The proverbs 31 kind of woman, they pray so well, they pray for their children, their husbands, their loved ones.

• They multitask: To multitask means to do alot of things at the same time. A woman can do different things at the same time, she'll be cooking, breastfeeding and still trying to put the older one through; in his assignments. Many more, their brains are always engaged in different things.

I could say so much more, but please; they really deserve the accolades, women are gems, they're rubies, they're divine, they're helpmeet, they're goal setters, they're warriors, they're fighters, they're all the best things you could ever think of. Here's a short poem, I wrote for women:

She is virtuous.

Extraordinary in nature,

creative in all measures.

Beauty in all dimensions,

Her womb brings forth glorious generations.

With her knees kissing the ground,

She pleads, decrees, foresees and guarantees her seeds,

to be known for good and godly deeds.

Her hands; scolds and moulds,

It lashes and caresses.

With the care; so rare,

She'll refine you into becoming the better you.

To every woman on this planet, I say:

Happy international women's day to you.

Let us appreciate our mothers, sisters, girlfriends, wives, daughters. Let us appreciate all the girl children; for their efforts are priceless.
