And as I stand upon the shoulder
Text on white background: And as I stand, upon the shoulders, of the shoulders, of the shoulders And as I stand, upon the shoulders, of the shoulders, of the shoulders of all the women who came before the ones who lived their lives in mystic silence stuffing down swallowing the bitterness of life theirs the ones who carried mighty burdens bent over broken backs under heavy weights theirs the ones whose loud clear voices told different stories new beginnings, middles and endings theirs the ones who forged new pathways pickaxe shovels determination, sweat and tears theirs so many women upon whose shoulders i now stand seeing new horizons, accepting new challenges, forging new pathways mine and the women of future tomorrow upon my shoulders they too will stand to reach for more, for better, for wonders, for greatness yours 18 Oct 2022 (c) Li-ling Ooi For World Menopause Day 2022
