We had a discussion once, where someone said the examples of best of women (or they meant it like that) are Mother Teresa, karaikal ammaiyar, hellen keller etc.. I thought about it. Is not the best women we know our wives..? Hence I wrote this..
*********
Too long a word is this ‘sacrifice’…
In all my attempts to simplify
Learning from experiences of my life
I ended up saying it as a wife…
Underneath the peace of a living or dead
Ran Mother Teresa’s sweat and blood
All through the brick and mortar of a house
Runs the hope and dream of a loving spouse
Feeding us all, moving like a wheel
She never sits even for having a meal
Karaikal Mother gave just one mango away
A wife gives her soul every day..
DeafBlind Hellen keller fought for herself..
A wife fights for others, ‘blind’ and ‘deaf’..
Blind to the needs of her body and mind..
Deaf to the personal pleasures she can find..
Is there a woman more than a wife
Who is behind, before and on the sides..
Of not just men, but evolution in its stride
Of consciousness on which the evolution rides..
