Notes About The Poem

CEO= Chief Executive Officer holds the highest position in an organisation, and earns the biggest salary. He is to keep the team together, be productive, maintain standards and discipline! A house wife's role is no less in any way but is treated as less or called 'woman of leisure'. Totally untrue!! It is high time this post is given proper recognition, value and respect!!

The House Wife

confronted by doubts middle of night,
she sat upright,
worry filled life,
a stressed house wife.

pressure to keep her man happy,
change tots nappy,
send child to school,
let in-laws rule!

a CEO job she does well,
but when doubts dwell
she stays awake,
for their love’s sake!

Brilliant take on this subject, Krish, yes times are changing, albeit slowly in some countries more than others.

Well said Krish! Thank you! Millions of woman throughout the span of time are applauding! While I do work outside the domestic sphere, I find that I use every bit of my college degree in running our household. Thank you for uplifting this work! Congratulations on your win!

Thanks Sam! Yes, my mother was a housewife who was marries you g when only 18 and she has been the power and force behind my success! Not a day goes by without me thanking and acknowledging the huge contribution she made to all our lives! Yes, world should officially declare housewife as a job with all the protection and benefits.

Thanks Alexis! There are many women doing this job and treated as less!! Hope people realise and begin to respect a mother for just being a mother!
