Life must go on!





When I look at you
I look back at life

How it varied…
In different phases
How it altered
In different segments

Were you same
Who changed faces?
Or
Were you different?
Who appeared same?

I recollect all those moments
Being a Dad’ little girl
I remember all those times
Being with a free young mind

Tender thoughts...brilliant ideas
Life was all so perfect
Being a girl was all real fun
Being a woman… never a smooth run

Growing up brought different shades
Not only in thought…but even in deeds

Sometimes others...sometimes dear ones…
Everyone traded for their console
Everyone treated with same feel

I don’t think anyone ever tried…
To estimate the esteem of me…a woman
A daughter…a sister
A wife…and a mother
A woman who give life to them
A woman who makes their life so live

But I know …I...do!
How worthy I am…
I look back at myself
I pat on my back
Move ahead in life

Because…I know
Woman = Life
And life must go on!

Life must really go on! Amazing poem, showing the different roles women have to take on through life! I can only imagine how tough it must be! I should be lucky being male, females have much more trouble to go through life!

A powerful call out to be an individual and have pride no matter how social forces make you invisible. I experienced too that switch over from being a cute novelty to being gendered and stereotyped. How fortunate those who find an equal partner in this world!
