This woman didn’t carry her calabash on her head,
But on her shoulders
Like all the perks of being a wife and a mother.
Her smile hid every tiredness and screamed bravery,
She wore strength like her attire
Wrapped around her heavy bossom and curvy thighs,
She adorns herself with precious pearl stones
like the gem she is,
her skin speaks glory and her face could tell a story,
She could lead a warzone and be a peacemaker in a switch,
She is the woman.
The Gbagyi woman.
