To Attain God (By Kevin Agrawal, Pune)

Women in a Man’s Life
I was born,
a woman was there
to hold me — my mother.

          I grew as a child,
          A woman was there
          to care for me, to
          play with me — my sister.

I went to school,
A woman was there
to help me learn — my teacher.

          I became depressed, whenever I lost.
          A woman was there
          to offer a shoulder — my wife.

I became tough,
A woman was there
to melt me — my daughter.

          I am dying,
          A woman is there to
          absorb me in — my motherland.
