Am a Woman, Have No Dreams of Own

One clings on breast,
The other in lap,
Two crawl on floor;
Yes I am,
Their destitute mom;
Like a woman of stone age,
Live for food,
Bear babies and raise,
Until are grown enough,
To live their own;
None cares who am I,
What I wish, 
Am a woman,
Have no dreams of own;
Kids and husband,
Are my karma;
My dedication rewards,  
A good wife, A good mom;
Don't have life of my own;
Live for mate, live for kids;
