Housewife or the Queen of the house now letting her soul on journey thru window pane will soon step outside. Thanks for your visit to my page.

Anisha, Maybe she is the CEO but it isn't that way for many. Yes, looking means longing so outside on a pretty day she will go. Thanks for dropping by. Sara

This is adorable... I think 'housewife' is a little modest, however... How about 'Queen of the Kitchen?' Or perhaps 'Real Estate CEO?' Homemakers are often so underappreciated, if appreciated at all. Courtesy and Caring, Gershon

Gershon, Well, my job once was important but now I am like a wounded big bird. LOL..Age has taken its toll on my health and ability to do what needs to be done. I agree women are under appreciated. The woman who is a single mom with at least one job out of the home, children to care for, and all the work at home has her hands full. I don't see how they do it. Thanks for the visit to my page.

Sara, your Senryu reminds me of Shakespeare's line, "What light through yonder window breaks..." in the case of your write...what memories a housewife has from her window. Lovely work.
