Determination

Papa’s pet, a little girl

In her tiny little beautiful world

A bundle of joy, she is playful.



As the years flow

Into teenage years she grows

An emotional world she draws.



Travelling miles

Through adolescent years

Having lots, she styles.



Makes innumerable friends

After college and university

Professional ties.



She works with grace

Meets her man but marries in haste.

She becomes worldly wise.



Blessed with son precious

She is ever anxious over baby, cries.

Pain intermitted her smiles.



Intense optimism hers

She has to look forward up rise.

Era, manage affairs.



Baby, husband, domestic, office

Docs, relatives, in-laws, family politics,

Banking, marketing, vexing blows.



Burdens inflate in rows. However

Holding on to tradition and values, she acts force.

Struggles womanpower braves sorrows.
