And We Remain Women After All

~A Woman After All~

So they told her… Its your Omani Women’s Day

Signing the longest Letter: Appreciation of all Omani Women to His Majesty

Festivity continues in 2010 Omani Women: Celebrating 40 Years of Prosperity

So she clasps into more celebrations

In every Omani head line: Building Women Capacity

Then 2011, a New Year approached

Once again they told her: Its International Women’s Day

Rejoice it and celebrate it

Yet reality blows another truth

As she returns home, a husband to remind her

That her peak...is just an illusion

As she is just a woman.. all fragile

To be handled under the care of a man

Isn’t she after all a vulnerable  woman?

In New York

I smile to you

As the charm spreads

Across my face and touching you

In many ways, delighting your day

So I ask you to just accept me

Just the way I am

In my simplicity

Holding the world in a smile
