SHE

Gold she gives,
to leave her home
and enter another life of “gilded luxury”.
or so they say.
A wife she becomes,
every morn, up at the crack of dawn is she
to do her chores, those unending chores.
chop and churn,toast and roast, grill and grind,
from dusk to dawn her tasks go on and on;
a tasty fare she turns out for sure.
At the kitchen table, the family tucks away without a word.
She swirls and whirls
Between school and office, children and the market;
to heed every need, is her ingrained creed.
For does she not lead a life of “gilded luxury” ! or so they say.
Her commitment and care, not many know.
“Just a Homemaker, after all “, they call her.
Homemaker she maybe, but she builds a home
not of brick and stone, her foundation is a mother’s love.
She builds and mends relationships
She is the master craftsman, major multi-tasker et al
the fabric of society she spins and weaves.


On call, she is 24 x 7 at home.
A better calling, yet she is capable of,
when out of her home, she steps to seek
Glory and fame, greatness and name..
A bright beacon, she shines in the corporate firmament.
Sure and steady in her work, solid like a rock, she stands.
straddling both worlds with equal ease.
Poised and confident, tact and understanding are her second name.
Bold and brave, a tower of strength
She is submissive yet bold,quiet yet articulate about her strengths and needs.
Devi, Shakthi, Amma, call her what you may.
She is the Supreme Mother all the way.
