I am just a housewife, no mean feat <br />I put food on the table, for my family to eat <br /> <br />nourishing wholesome meals, cooked with a mother's touch, <br />not food like a restaurants, which you dont miss much, <br /> <br />I am there to comfort and listen to woes, <br />I have to be a refree too, and settle all the rows, <br /> <br />I pamper his mother and keep his folks happy, <br />and even keep smiling, when I am feeling snappy, <br /> <br />I'm house proud and neat, clean rooms are a must, <br />my days are spent cleaning, and keeping out the dust, <br /> <br />I am a nurse, too helping in healing, wounds of both kinds, <br />real fears of my husband and imaginary fears of young minds, <br /> <br />I am a hostess when required, entertaining within constraints, <br />I'm also a disciplanarian when children require restraints, <br /> <br />I manage the finances, and keep everything going <br />when things are not going right for me I keep them from showing <br /> <br />my husband earns the bread, its my job to keep him going, <br />I steer the boat and he does the rowing, <br /> <br />together we raise children, to be happy and bright <br />together we live our our life working morning to night <br /> <br />but don't forget my friends that men CAN'T multi task, <br />how to juggle so many tasks its a woman you have to ask. <br /> <br />and all this without payment, and sometimes no appreciation, <br />thats what women are about, <br />endless love, nurture and creation.<br /><br />Arti Chopra<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/just-a-housewife/
