The following poem was inspired by connecting all the GTW Annual Event Themes.
Note about the design: A tree with strong roots backed by the sun was chosen to represent "substance" because without them, there would be no life on earth. The sun is also a symbol of a far-reaching "circle." Gather the Women Circles reach around the world.
