Women In My Family

Women in my family-
mom, sisters-in-law and me
Standing tall as robust trees
Shading comforts for everybody.

They heartily leant at men’s wall
Making sure nobody will fall
Support kids morally and spiritually
Alongside with men, financially.

They’re strong to do what most men do
Carpentry for mother dear, go…go…go!
Sisters-in-law are very supportive
Brothers’ ideal wives, best moms to their kids.

Women in my family are all evergreen leaves
Unfading love from home to relatives- they give.
