She Has Work To Do — poem by Alexandra Gold

She Has Work To Do

She Has Work To Do

Whilst there is hunger
She Has Work To Do

Whilst there is anger
She Has Work To Do

Whilst there is injustice
She Has Work To Do

Whilst there is inequality
She Has Work To Do

Whilst there is suffering
She Has Work To Do

Whilst there is pain
She Has Work To Do

Whether she is at home
Whether she is at work
There are so many things to do

She cannot do them all
Not alone
So do not fret

She has got to this place
She may be alone
She may be surrounded
But there is one thing she can do

She can decide
She can choose
She can act
She can move

It doesn’t matter if she is ready
It doesn’t matter if it is perfect
It doesn’t matter if there are fears,
If she is unsure

All that matters is that she does
She does what she needs to do

For if all women do their bit
For themselves
For there families
Filling themselves with beauty
Happiness, security and comfort

Then the world will rise
There is no doubt

It cannot be any other way

So what do you want?
Why do you want it?
When do you want it?

There is a vessel with your name on it
It is for you to carry
It is for you to fill up
It is for you to spill
Overflowing
Sharing with the world

So ask yourself again

What do you want?
Why do you want it?
When do you want it?

Be honest – this is your vessel
Be realistic – this is your life
Be dedicated – this is your legacy

What are the changes you would like to see
To be a part of
To be remembered for

This is the time to make big plans
To dream big
To create the vision
To set it in stone

Then draw a path
A true path
A doable path
A Golden path
Between Here and There

For this is your journey
Why not walk in beauty?
Why not work in beauty?
Why not create, think and make beauty?

We have work to do
Never doubt that
Non-attachment is realising that you can do your bit
You don’t have to do it all
But that together
All happy, beauty filled vessels
Could sing in harmony

The music will be heard in every corner of the globe
Yes, it has different melodies
Different timbre
Different beats

The expansion of your awareness gives you the ability
To enjoy, deep in your heart
The unique essence of each and every individual
Seeking to join the song

Giving space for the peace
Giving voice to those listening
Giving vision to those creating
Giving comfort to those waiting

For you
To do your bit
In whatever way
Fills your vessel

She knows that this is life
Cycle
She will fill herself first
With health, happiness, sustenance
Beauty
Then the only thing that can pour from her
Is Grace

Leave your fear in the past
Leave your past in the bank of memory
Become the memory of others
Become the legacy

There is no other way
Whilst she is alive
She has work to do
