only they know

​Only they know what it means
to wear a flower attached to their hair
regardless of their age.

Only they know what it’s like
to purchase a new pair of shoes or bags
to be added to an already existing large collection.

Only they know how to distinguish the particular cry
of their loved ones amidst several others.

Only they know how precious it can be
having their distinguished beauty
acknowledged by their partner.

Only they know how large a heart can get
to accommodate more people into their lives.

Only they know the inexplicable wonders
of bringing another human being to life.

​Only they know how to be strong and steady
whilst everybody else believes that they are fragile and vulnerable.

Only they know how to ‘read’ other people’s mind
even when no word is said.

​Therefore, for all this, and much much more,
only being a woman to fully comprehend
the uniqueness of being…
a Woman!
