She comes from nowhere, enters a household,
All to bear burdens,
Of new parents, of her man,
Of a child, yet to be born,
She gives herself, holding nothing back,
Yielding to his wield as he holds her in his embrace,
Bearing immense pain, yet giving him strength,
His pain becomes hers, his joy too,
His parents hers, she gets a name new,
All to bear burdens,
Of new parents, of her man,
Of a child, yet to be born,
She gives herself, holding nothing back,
Yielding to his wield as he holds her in his embrace,
Bearing immense pain, yet giving him strength,
His pain becomes hers, his joy too,
His parents hers, she gets a name new,
A lifetime in the kitchen, she transforms -
From a woman to a daughter in law,
Then a mother for life-
With a heart as supple as her bones,
With a heart as supple as her bones,
And as resilient too,
She lives her life, giving and toiling,
Her dreams locked away,
In a corner of her large heart,
A life, nothing short of penance -
Penance that consecrates her house,
And yet she bows down,
In front of husband sibling, even offspring,
Truly deserving to be,
The head of the house,
