Elegant lady, graceful, majestic
Mathematician and analytic.
Lover of literature and music.
Friendly, helpful, compassionate, frolic.
Reasonable rational and righteous,
honors moral values, not religious.
Impulsive, prompt, acting spontaneous.
Dutiful, dynamic and courageous.
Optimist ! Ambitions not to give up.
Inherited brilliance owning brain sharp.
Drinking dreamy desires from hopeful cup.
Endures failure taking an easy burp.
Takes life as a challenge at every step.
Path of life not even, may take an odd shape.
Ready to confront, never to escape.
Peace -loving, yet on need, ready to skelp.

All were gone in the gust of wind.
Not yet fully grown up into a woman
She was to leave home for a man.
What type of rules are they that bind?
Young girls to quit family for another
And before time, be already a mother.
None ever bothered to know her mind.
Before she could understand her roles,
Confined she was to daily filling of bowls
And nursing babies, to which she resigned.
One day, he died, taking his own life.
Blame she carried of being a bad wife.
Their boy and girl he cruelly left behind.
In hardship for a living, she was hurled.
Hoping her angels would change her world,
Night and day, she toiled blind.
One day, she slept such a sleep deep;
Her lovely angels forever went to sleep
As if fate had kept bad luck all aligned;
For an accidental flame to give them a skelp.
She did not hear them crying for help
While they burnt alive in room confined!
