Girl Child

 

I wake up early for Fajr prayers and she is already up in the kitchen. I sleep late watching Football and she is stuck in the kitchen cleaning and making breakfast cajiin.

I go to school to compete her and I always come second to her. She leads the class and still has no time for friends at Duhr, because Lunch has to be prepared at home.

 When she struggles to give birth while the dads are away, she takes care of herself. When there is a small argument and He reaches out for divorce, she gets to take care of her children. She never has enough appreciation and support and yet, she perfectly knows what to do. 

She here is every somali girl out there. I cherish you, celebrate you and respect you. I know how brave, strong and smart you are because I have a queen and 3 princesses in our household, another 20 I am blessed with as eedos and Habaryaros, 30 more as close cousins, nieces and nephews and above 100 as close friends and shields. I succeed and shine daily because I am raised by somali queens. I beat my competition everyday because I am surrounded by Somali queens.

I am never disrespecting the male here but I know the female deserve way more praise now and forever.

Do you know why they say behind every successful man, there is a woman? Hear the reason out and try to understand.

A woman gives birth to you, a woman teaches you to talk, walk and play, a woman consoles you at the end of everyday, motivates you and teaches you what happiness is, a woman will cry for you, miss you and be by your bedside when you get to say goodbye. All this are things 90% of women do everyday without getting tired or expecting something back.

If you know all this and understand with me, who are we to disrespect any woman? 

Let us celebrate the international girl day today and learn to respect every female every day.
