My Name is Woman<br />
My name is Woman.<br />
I am the pillar<br />
I am the foundation<br />
I am the ‘carer’<br />
Where hospitals and doctors have failed.<br />
I am the farmer,<br />
I walk barefoot across the fields,<br />
I work with my bare hands<br />
I feed the nation.<br />
I do the ploughing,<br />
The weeding, the spraying,<br />
The harvesting.<br />
My name is Woman!<br />
I brought up all these men and women,<br />
Breastfed them,<br />
Changed their nappies,<br />
Told them stories,<br />
Sang lullabies <strong>for</strong> them<br />
Sent them to sleep.<br />
