Face Of Woman Of Resolve Poem by Venkatesh Raghava

Widowed young mother of two
Found it was hard to live
When her husband died in an accident
With little money in his tent.

A heart-rending scene of village woman
Wailing beside the dead body of her husband
With two tiny tote clenching on to her dress
-also crying, put everyone in grief.

But later she worked in day
And studied at night,
Securing a job came to light
With courage, grit and determination.

Now her children study in school
And she is brimming with joy and happiness,
Now the face of this woman of resolve
In everyone’s heart and mind glow.
