Journey of a Woman

Born as soft as the petal of a rose,
A tenderness to a heaven so close.
Her enclosed hands seem to hold so much gravity,
while she sends across a message of divinity.
Such is the beauty of a baby girl,
Whose silence is as pure as a pearl.

A few weeks later she opens her eye,
to see the world of limitless sky.
Beginning to learn from her mother, the ways of the world,
she also enjoys being her, 'daddy's girl.'
Playing with dolls and her little kitchen-set,
at a tender age, in friendship she gives tests.
Sometimes a loving daughter, sometimes a caring sister,
she aspires to fulfill her dreams and learns to bind the world together.

With adolescence comes a phase of responsibility and trust,
that forms her heart's actual crust.
Her eye starts searching for her prince charming,
who would one day on a white mare come riding.
But with lessons from her mother on virtue and dignity,
she learns to handle life with grace and maturity.

Next she spreads her wings into the land of her husband,
leaving and yet holding back the abode of her parents.
She learns the art of binding together a family,
while brushing aside he ego to see clearly.
Many a times life puts up a question to her of, "Why?"
she replies back with an attitude of never say die.

Now in her womb she carries a new life,
whom she'll now teach to grow up, struggle and strive.
With a smile that pulls a million heart,
and a touch that leads a healing to start.

With age, experience and the right wisdom,
a woman learns to define freedom.
A daughter, sister, friend, wife and mother,
Is the life of a girl who binds the universe together.
