A Woman, an Utterly Selfless Living Species: A poem by Shubha Sagar

A woman is blessed with an innate ability to love and care,
An utterly selfless living species, ever so beautiful and rare.

Possessing a glint of diamond in her eyes and a heart of gold,
Nerves of steel and an iron will, make her so strong and bold.

Soft and tender within, but with a rough and tough demeanour,
Delicate and docile, yet headstrong and a good decision maker.

To tickle her family’s palates, she can put the best chefs to shame,
For learning the tricks of any and every trade she is forever game.

To suit her family’s needs, she is ever willing to reinvent herself,
Anyone may give up on her but she never does give up on herself.
Happy to be a homemaker, yet she is willing to go the extra mile,
To add to the family income, does the balancing act with a smile.

How smoothly and effortlessly into a variety of roles, she slips,
Working endlessly to honour all, never a complaint on her lips.

No one can challenge her to take up any role or responsibility,
No one can dare to doubt or underestimate her infinite ability.

Her ability to rise from the ashes, has the Phoenix’s admiration,
Even the starfish envies her power of revival and regeneration.

A woman is blessed with an innate ability to love and care,
An utterly selfless living species, ever so beautiful and rare.
