Thankful Women

By Divya, listener from India

I am thankful to those people,
Who made me fall.
So I could learn
How to hold up again.
I am thankful to those people,
Who burnt me to ashes.
So I could learn
How to rise like a phoenix.
I am thankful to those people,
Who made me think.
House chores were only mine,
You made me more skilled again.
I am thankful to those people,
Who blinded me by their wrongs.
You made me learn,
I am powerful, thanks for not hiding
the cruel world from me again.
'Cause if you did,
I wouldn't know the extreme.
And If I didn't know the extreme,
I would never know how to fight the extreme.
And be the righteous and thought sharing woman I am today.
