1)Encourage Others
Encouragement is a virtue divine
With your words you can make people shine
Encouragement can help someone spring up and bloom
They may be spending their days in gloom.
It is an act of kindness which you may not know
Few words of encouragement lets love flow
Make people happy wherever you go
Encouraging others will let your spirit glow.
No one is ever too busy to support with a few words
You can give wings and let people fly like birds
We already have got too many critics
Why not lend your words and become artistic?
Encouraging others also speaks a lot about you
In the process, you become humble and get encouraged too
Encourage and become a rainbow in someone's life,
You never know how they might be undergoing strife.
Be open and start encouraging
It is infectious so start transmitting.
By encouraging you can become someone's inspiration
Your words are treasure, use them for motivation.

2) O Woman! Thou art unique
Holding the world on your shoulders,
Women, you wear your crown with pride
The maker of unconditional love,
Soft and powerful, you can take everything in your stride.
You are the symbol of Life
You are a work of art when unfurled
An epitome of patience and sacrifice,
Practical and spiritual, you are a gift to the world.
You are a museum of art
Sometimes real and sometimes abstract
Your life is the canvas where you have painted stories
With colours bold and beautiful that attract.
You never give up nor you play victim
You do not fear the fire for you are the fire yourself
O' Woman! Thou art unique
You carry valour in your heart, you are the universe thyself.
