Choices

Lady lady, what do you do ?

She is a wife, she is a mother

A domestic queen for the household

 

She scrubs, she washes

She cooks, she sews

like her predecessors eons ago

where home was where she was bound

for society defined her role

 

Child rearing was her task

and traditional homemaker was her role

equality between sexes was unknown

feminism was alien

 

Hundreds years from then

Qualifications no longer crippled her

Rights and opportunities lay bountiful ahead

thanks to many who fought before her

a battle to seek for justice

and the end of sexism

 

But to some a new battle has just begun

To seek re-affirmation

To re-find her role

To reap the rewards of the battle fought

 

Yet to others the reward to reap

is but the freedom of choice

Period.

 

the choice to seek her dream

the choice to live her being

the choice to reassume her predecessors’ role

Choices worthy of her heart and soul

  2. Yes Rachel… its all about choices isn’t it?

    It had been my choice to marry before I reach 24 and give birth to my first child when I’m 26…. and I’m so fortunate to be able to fulfill all of that….

    when a woman have made up her mind on something, only God can stop her…. *wink* I’m glad God was on my side… *wink*

    Many of my friends (then) said I was crazy… but now, when they look at me, they knew I meant business…. *smile*
