A Tribute to Women

By Camilo Gutierrez

I was transformed, while in jail, when I opened my heart to God.
And today, woman, I see your value so clearly!
I know we are all children of the same Father, who is Love.
And a Mother who is just and loving to all Her sons and daughters.

I admire you, woman, daughter of God,
You who are at home with children and husband,
Or at work, helping the world to progress.

I value you, woman, for I see that God created you
So that we might be companions.
I want to give you the best I can,
So that we may have an honest life, with mutual respect.
We will build a life together, and Love will protect us.
