The meaning of this poem are the qualities of Muslim women that make me feel proud that I am a Muslim when I talk about it. When I wrote this poem I didn’t have to think about what should I write for Muslim women on the Muslim women’s day, because the ideas and descriptions of Muslim women was already inside of me and it helped me to express all feelings and write down all my thoughts about how wonderful the day is. Muslim Women’s Day means a lot to me because I am Muslim and having a special day for Muslim Women is a celebration that makes me feel a desire to do more than writing a poem to express the feeling and the meaning of this day.
