Stages In A Womans Life

A daughter is the first thing that a girl becomes,
Bringing joy and happiness in the lives of dads amd mums.

Girls are usually the apples of their father's eyes,
To show affections galore, they are not shy.

It isn't east getting in the teenage years,
They have to face challenges and fears.

Then comes finding the right love and boy,
Its now time to say goodbye to her toys.

It is the beginning of a new life,
When a girl gets married and becomes a wife.

Her parents and friends become a distant memory,
Now that she starts her new love story.

A mother is now what she gets to become,
A daughter, a wife and now a mom.

It isn't easy managing the entire household,
You need to be patient, strong and bold.

Caring and nurturing your family as one,
Is what she needs to do from dawn untill the day is done.

Becoming a grand parent comes with its plus points,
By now she is old and getting weak in her joints.

Still her love for her family is clear in her eyes,
And shall always be there untill the day she dies.

So a woman's life is like a cocktail of emotions,
Savour it, take care of it and it will be the sweetest of all potions.

It is a very smiling poem, smilingleo. Is this how you really see women? Is this your experience of women? You must have an extraordinary kindness.

I always think women tumultuous things. Life is full of complication and doesn't run in a linear progression. So I am wondering, is this how you really see women, or is this how we are supposed to see women? I am always curious to understand what it is the poet is really trying to say. Sometimes it is not as straightforward as it seems.

I hope you aren't offended by my question. I would genuinely like to know.

Firstly thank you for your comment. In reply to your question, I would like to point out that through different stages in life I have seen women in my family and some surrounding me, passing through these stages in life and its to them that I have dedicated this poem to.

Kind regards,
Smilingleo.
