Premature wrinkles on her face

That’s the scenario in every race

From the beginning of universe

She bore suffering and disgrace

This is every woman’s story

Stressful life –never hunky dory

And when she has kids to raise,

In poverty, she’s much to worry

Her offspring are her priority

She lives for  them in all honesty

A mother, in all forms of life,

For her kids would brave any tyranny

Rich or poor, a mother makes sure

That her children are totally secure
