The Emerging Happiness.. Poem by Veeraiyah Subbulakshmi

Women have the dreams,
Of their own,
Until the kids of them delivered,
When the touch of little ones felt,
Their dreams are set aside to ‘pursue’ later,
A few resigned from their professional work,
A few juggle between the jobs and house work,
A few have turned to be the driver, cook, teacher,
Care taker, house keeper and well wisher to their kids,
The help from the sperm donor who hold the ring,
Not available, as they have their own ‘ambitions’ to go after,
a few fathers are too great to comprehend,
let them be blessed with good health,
The journey is performed until the young adults,
From the little ones emerged and,
Started to have their own dreams and targets,
Women are always happy to see the success,
Of their loving children and spouses,
Behind the sincere smile, there is a drop of tear,
That would emerge from the corners of their eyes,
The moment they think what they have lost,
In their own life, to have the happy family,
And to see so many cheerful faces,
Many Generations of women have had this.
