Look at her over The proud women Walking slowly to all her dreams, Proudly, lovingly, nurturing all over. Some thought the sun would not  rise, Won't glow like her sparkling size, Some thought won't rise the occasion, Won't flow like the powerful ocean Some thought she won't be able, Won't be the right & capable, Look her, look her  Her she is  The pride of her work, The proud of her persona, The life of selflessness, The hand of help, The words of kind, The fierce of the enemy, Here she is beating the obstacles, Beating the filth, Rising above dirt & ego, All she is the proud queen Not the scare that others spit, She is precious, gracious, and blessed. Rise women, pretty women, rise, Happily, merrily, all above blessing, Touchwood high, blessed & higher. Dedicated to #Rety #proud #happy #winner #noevileye #pure
