The Woman Of Today....

The women of today, she starts her life full of poise
Any hurdle, any block – she crosses with rejoice
She knows how to win…. through combat or through peace
She shines as a star, and excels at ease.

Looks beyond the horizon and takes off into the blues
Keeping intact her ethics, her belief, her values
Powered by her parents, she flies the high skies
However, high she goes, she never loses her ties

She steps into a profession with a zeal to perform
transmitting fun, joy, pleasure and a mood to transform
She takes with enthusiasm her given responsibility
Work hard, proves herself and gets lauded for her ability

Then she walks into a marriage, with lots of cheer
Driving into the next stage of life in full gear
To give him her best, to make him hers and to become his
Looking forward to pleasure, joy and happiness and bliss

Days getting tighter, work more tough
Time starts looking to be just enough
Spliced between work and time for company
However still keeping up her amateur symphony

Then comes into her life, God’s biggest boon
A tiny little blessing, a cute blooming moon
It fills her life with warmth, with a sense of pride
Carries her into motherhood stride

And slowly she gets back to reality, true and wild
Manage business, in-laws, husband, and child
And again she adapts, and her focus realigned
Gets her act in place, her priorities redesigned

In the process some critical desire she forgoes
To strikes a balance and meet the needs of her folks
She takes up her life as it comes with joy and cheer
To keep the smile gleaming on the faces of her near and dear

To all those who read this, I have a request today
If you agree with me, please do say
A small thanks to your mother, and to your wife
For all that they have done to make up your life..
