It is full of ironies and paradoxes.'For instance, one person graduates at the age of 20 and struggles for another 5 years to get a job.Another might graduate at 25 and get a job immediately. One can marry as a virgin and wait for the next decade to have the blessing of children. Another lady probably after having a series of abortions in her past, becomes a mother almost immediately after marriage. A fellow becomes an MD at 55 and lives to 90.What a life! 'observes a writer. Life is full of twists, turns, ups and downs.The woman in the poem illustrates the plight of a barren woman.However, she believes there is light at the end of the tunnel.
