In this original spoken‑word poem, Wilson Garfin contemplates the intrinsic value of women, focusing on the physical and emotional hardships of childbirth, the beauty and femininity they embody, and their foundational role in family and society. He questions whether women truly understand themselves and whether men grasp a woman's purpose, ultimately affirming his own comprehension through the way he treats the women in his life—mother, grandmother, daughter, and partner. Garfin frames women as the "gift of life," likening them to royalty, precious materials, and even a protective knife, emphasizing respect, reverence, and gratitude for their contributions to civilization and personal existence.
