A woman gave me birth,
nurtured me with boundless care,
sacrificed her own dreams,
to make me shine like a star.
Amidst storms of struggles,
she offered herself selflessly,
taught me how to soar,
instilled in me great courage.
She stood as a wall in sorrow,
endured every pain in silence,
forgot herself completely,
just to see me smile.
Whatever I am today,
she is the foundation of it all,
a woman is never weak—
she is the entire world!
