Celebrating Women
To All the Women Who Felt It
Honour
Honour the women
Who shook hands with time
Who laid their lives on the line
Who bore the pain
Who received no fame
Honour
Honour the women
Who struggled, laboured and toiled
Who buried tears, sweat and blood
in the Caribbean soil
Who resisted pride and suffered shame
Who worked hard to make a good name
Honour
Honour the women
Whom reality kicked and slapped
Who learnt how to slap it back
Who survived the Caribbean’s History
Who are now our Aunts, Mommies and Grannies
Honour
Honour the women who truly merit
Honour all Women Who Felt It
Honour
Honour
Honour the women
Who shook hands with time
Who laid their lives on the line
Who bore the pain
Who received no fame
Honour
Honour the women
Who struggled, laboured and toiled
Who buried tears, sweat and blood
in the Caribbean soil
Who resisted pride and suffered shame
Who worked hard to make a good name
Honour
Honour the women
Whom reality kicked and slapped
Who learnt how to slap it back
Who survived the Caribbean’s History
Who are now our Aunts, Mommies and Grannies
Honour
Honour the women who truly merit
Honour all Women Who Felt It
