The Poem: She Can Do Anything

Wathint Abafazi, Wathint Imbokodo

You strike the women, you strike the rock

( Unknown )

Here’s to strong women. May we know them.

May we be them. May we raise them.

( Unknown )

I’m a woman, phenomenally.

Phenomenal woman, that’s me.

( Maya Angelou )

I have been up, down, loved, damaged, held, kicked, admired, smothered

But I have always been a woman. The most beautiful thing on earth

( Philippa Westgate )

Woman! You were meant to be loved, not understood.

When the road gets tough, we get down the high heels!

( Kedi Kido Chaboneka )

I can because I strive to be all I am meant to be; a woman after God's own heart

I am this woman because of Him whom who destined me to be a special chosen vessel to humanity for His honour and glory.

( Lorraine Cockrell )

One you should treasure,but not as a possession

Who needs to be loved,not treated with aggression

( Carol Naumann )

To create, nurture and serve, beyond daughter, mother, sister or a wife

A maiden strong, a lady loving and a crone wise, the divine goddess of birth, death and life

( Sarita )

I am the moon in somebody's night.

They call me a mother,wife,sister and a daughter; I am the ease in somebody's plight.

( Hashim Bashir )

You can't stop her, oppress or threaten her; You can't cage her or bring her down;

She is going to come out, stronger than before, and more renown.

( Samreen )
