Oh! dear wife :A Poem by Patrichia Dcruze

Oh! dear wife 

Are you a wife?
Or have you been tagged as one?
Think, reflect, and utter
Whether you are known by your name
Or known for the other.
Are you infamous as the educated
Or famous as the old and uneducated.
Are you someone's?
Or fighting to be one's own!
What is it that stops you?
What is it that holds you back?
From breaking the glass walls!
And facing the mirror!!

Oh, dear wife :
You are a Woman,
The power, Epitome of grace.
Inner Beauty, Your identity,
Strongest your brain.
Heart,
Of gold, Laden with love.
Emotions, So pellucid,
placid, your nature.

You invested your life to nurture lives,
With your analytical mind and warm nature,
You have become the breadwinner,
And the warm nurturer.
But now is the moment to go back,
To the tea gardens that miss your aroma,
So spread your wings and grow your tea leaves,
Once again!
