Hers For Taking

by Arshia Agarwal .

A newborn baby smiles And in each one she has known

Gazing at her mother The world is hers for the taking
With playful eyes
So innocent All these women
So young Their power
The world is hers for the taking Their ideas
Their stories
A little girl laughs
Alone in a silent playground The world
Her eyes closed Tries to reduce them
Pigtails whipping through the wind To less than their worth
Without a care But fails
The world is hers for the taking Because the world
Has always been
A young lady cries And will always be
Tiptoeing to the edge of the cliff Theirs for the taking
She has a choice
Irreversible
But she won't because
The world is hers for the taking

A middle-aged woman reads

To a classroom of eager faces
Staring expectantly at her
She prepares to share with
Each and every one
The ultimate power
Knowledge
The world is hers for the taking

A grandmother speaks
Telling her story
To all who wish to hear
She has lived many lives
Hers for taking is a poem on women empowerment by Arshia Agarwal . The poem
