About the Poem
“Guiding Lights” is a tribute to women leaders—those breaking barriers, shaping policies, and leading grassroots transformation. It celebrates their strength, legacy, and collective journey to reimagine power with purpose.
Guiding Lights
In the realm of leadership, we find our guide,
Women rising, with courage as their stride,
From grassroots to global, their voices resound,
Guiding lights, where change is found.
In the corridors of power, they take their place,
Leadership illuminated, with wisdom and grace,
For every barrier they break, every glass ceiling shattered,
Women in leadership, their legacy mattered.
From policy to practice, and action on the ground,
Guiding lights, where solutions are found,
For in their vision lies hope, in their deeds, transformation,
Women in leadership, a beacon for every nation.
As we honor their journey, their legacy profound,
Guiding lights, where empowerment is crowned,
In the realm of leadership, let us all unite,
Guiding lights, shining bright.
