Symbol Woman-3

Life can't be soft always- with woes too oft
So strived a couple in love and despair
With kids to be raised to a level fair
Hardships they faced- support hers was a lot
She chose to teaching and worked hard aloft

Poverty was scared of her- she was not
Noted she grew helping her spouse a lot
Grown sons settled abroad she lived with them
Sometime now back here as a fresh anthem
She came-an angel from heaven a lot
