Woman with stuff upon your head
What is that you carry so elegantly?
Is that a burden, is that a load?
Is that a heart break or a dirge?

Woman carrying stuff on your head
Cat-walking your way pass my hut
How do you keep your head up under such weight?
And flash pebbles of hope at each “Good morning” and “Good afternoon ” and “Good evening”?
From what deep well do you fetch your smile and kindness and grace?

Could it be that you finally saw
That your burden is also your crown?
