Chapter 3 : She Can Do Anything

Summary: This Women’s Month, in tribute of the women's march (where 20,000 women of different races marched to the Union Buildings in Pretoria to protest against legislation aimed at controlling the movement of black individuals by forcing them to carry pass books)- we want to recognize how SHE CAN DO ANYTHING. We want to spend the next month looking back on women’s achievements, their milestones as well as reflecting on the challenges they have faced in the struggle to be free and the important role they continue to play in society. Let us contribute our two lines towards weaving a poem that reminds us that- “She believed she could, so she did”- R S Grey.

The Poem: She Can Do Anything



Out of the rib of man, GOD created her

bone from his bone, flesh from his flesh - Superb!

( Helenah )


Women, beautiful by design, powerful in diversity

Always allow your inner strength to conquer the world's obstacles

( Wayne )


On the dark days, remember the eternal sunshine in your smile.

Because you are the only person who can walk a long difficult mile.

( Nickolaus Bauer )


I left for a place unknown

I found a place inside me

( Edward Ridgwell )


Who knows the direction of her journey

Who knows exactly where she is going

( Conrad )


And will persist until she reaches her destiny

Who knows not only what she wants out of life but knows exactly what she has to offer in return

( Conrad )


She steers the direction that the family needs to take

She keeps the head on top of things

( Lucky )


She brings stability to the head

She brings balance to the head

( Lucky )


She is the neck of the family

Her contribution towards the head, leads to greater achievements for the entire family

( Lucky )


We women are strong and we are not easily broken by circumstances of life

We cry in our hearts yet we have beautiful smiles on our faces

( Jane )
