I'm Proud to be a WOMAN

To celebrate the coming of Mother’s Day, I’ve recently come across an unforgettable piece of poem that praises the beautiful nature of women. Every woman dreams of becoming a mother sometimes in the future and I thought to myself, why not share this poem so that all of us (both men and women) can appreciate the way Allah SWT creates women and what roles women need to play.

Truly, women make world complete in so many ways. Truly, women are special and needed to be treated as such. And for that, I think a complete equality between men and women in terms of rights, haq and Islamic rules (as what being spread by Sister in Islam as a propaganda) will actually strip off women of the privileges and the sense of special that have always surrounded women.

Allah intends men and women to be different. Men have their own privileges and so do women. I think that by appreciating the differences between the genders, we will appreciate even more us being a woman!

Aku Seorang Wanita

Orang kata
Aku
Lemah, mengada-ngada tak sudah
Pemalu, kadang-kadang tak kena waktu
Suka menangis, hati mudah terhiris
Akal singkat, bercakap tak kenal penat
Degil, mudah rasa jengkel
Namun aku
Tetap bersyukur kerana
Aku punya tempat istimewa di sisiNya
Aku mulia kerana
Aku
Seorang anak
Yang baik lagi terpuji akhlak
Rajin belajar, membuang masa pastinya tidak
Aku
Seorang isteri
Kakasih terhebat suami
Cinta suci penambat hati
Menantu yang disayangi
Pandai memasak dan pandai mengambil hati
Aku
Seorang ibu
9 bulan 10 hari mengandung anak-anakku
Azabnya hanya Tuhan yang tahu
Seorang mentua
Yang penyayang dan senyum selalu
Tidak pernah cerewet dengan menantu
Aku
Seorang sahabat
Duka nestapa akulah pengubat
Janji rahsia ku genggam erat
Aku
Tunggak masyarakat
Membina generasi bersemangat
Pencetus wawasan keramat.
