A woman is always on the move:
From a “cute child” to a “responsible sister”,
a “fine prospect”, a “loving wife”,
a “doting mother” and a “progressive mom-in-law”.
She never has time to tarry a while.
She migrates:
From painful puberty to fleeting fertility;
Forty weeks of swelling, and then, a difficult pause.
She is a migrant in perpetuity:
Advancing, pushing ahead;
Leaving her home, her whole…
To nurture, to nurse, to provide.

Gives me goosebumps reading it
Glad you could connect with it.
And yet she is judged at every point of time. She’s either too good to be true, or masculine if she shows strength of mind and body, but socially acceptable if vain and needy.
