Being a Woman

I am a mother,the whole world wonders about my attributes...
I am someone's love,crazy he is for my features...
By being a wife I illuminate a man's home...
I am a daughter,companion of my parents...
just think what this world would be like
If i am not there...
but in spite of this they don’t let me, be
Snatch me from my mother’s womb
Tear me to pieces before I am born
Alas,these hapless humans don't know what to treasure..
