Everything is now in balance
Stands steady, holds its grace
The furniture is dusted, teak wood glimmers all golden and fine
Everything is rectified, and everyone is happy then who or what has lost its
glossy shine?
From morning glories to afternoon worries she is the one found responsible for
every catastrophe made a subject of undue suspicion
She does not know nor can in her capacity understand that she stays obliged
and accountable to what undone mission?
With the dreamy dawn of a sunshine morning, the little birdie wakes her up to a
world of uncertain events, people, and experiences
On her part, she too doesn't expect any gold here
She works, she falls, she stammers in tatters but never disappoints even
amidst feelings of despair when all she is affording are quick volunteering
tears
The day has begun, and the kingdom is ready to roll
Everyone from the king and ministers to the army is waiting for the drum roll
But here lies this sad soul looking still surprisingly precious but perplexed at
her disposition
The one who has to be perfect by hook or crook and value customs and
traditions
No one thinks and is concerned about how she manages her life
How much pain and pleasure she feels perfecting the roles of a daughter,
mother, sister, and wife
No one talks about the regular wars she wages each day to keep her family,
society, and life satisfied and gay
No one feels a stir to mention her worth even at the end of the day when she is
rightfully the most important character in every chapter of life's story
And she sometimes at her fate and that of the world too feels so sorry
In the flow and fancy of this life, she is uncared for even by her loved ones, now
well-settled in her avatar, all dreary, wanting, wretched, and drained
She was never understood and credited for her contributions
And was always found guilty and surrounded by delusions
By all logical analysis, she should rule being Queen B, the prime character of
her mega film, and be appreciated for her over-the-edge calibre
The way she has served her folks each day and night and how she is worth a
mention in the book "Life's Outstanding Contributors"
She can never be found guilty or blamed
She has done everything for all extending her ability and interest never wanting
in return any accolades or global acclaim
Measuring her worthy levels of dedication and her unwavering support for
the well-being of one and many we can see that till now she was never wrong but
we always were
To understand, love, respect and value her efforts
We humans by default are a species guided by selfishness who only do what
will bring forth returns and never can have the time or feeling for the other
being to extend a gesture of love and concern
We can’t help this wretchedness out of us however strongly we try
But luckily we can still make amends and strengthen broken ties
So let us start now by finding verses in her chapter rhyming
With words, actions, expressions, and emotions of love, care, and compassion
to make her smile
Let us finish our unfinished chores, and make our roles worthwhile
The housewife is simply special, all capable and beautiful
She does more than is expected out of her concern and love for all
We must surely do the needful too to credit her efforts with rewards and get
her ready to dance being Princess Shiranda of 'The Golden Gloss Ball'
On her part of sheer simplicity, she has no fancy requirements and wants only
a single morsel with a glass of water
So let's light her world with joy, and cheer her with laughter
Let us whitewash our souls first with the distemper of human qualities then
call her names or judge her acts or anything
If we are chosen by the Almighty to spread goodness around we will see that
after all the mess and magic of this life is over, the one angel left by our side,
still standing, undaunted, even by the bullet in her chest is that woman, the
simple homemaker, ready to live and die for her loved ones which raises her
above us all as a truly incomparable and beautiful human being.
