Our Mothers Are Domestic Workers In The Persian Gulf Poem by Rose Marie Juan-austin
Our Mothers Are Domestic Workers In The Persian Gulf
They traded the comfort of their homes
They curtailed their freedom of religion
They infringed on their right to speak
They bargained their educational attainment
All in the name
Of economic freedom.
Womanhood violated
Discriminated on account of their race
Treated as second class citizens
Faced prejudice in their workplace
All for the glory
Of family.
They raised the economy
Of the country
They improved their standard of living
And freed their children
From the vicious cycle
Of poverty.
Oh, our mothers
Our selfless mothers
Their greatness
Come in small things
They are one of a kind
The unsung heroes
Of our Motherland.

A well penned tribute to Philippine Overseas Workers who make lifetime sacrifices to provide for their family’s needs. These Mothers and Workers often endure undocumented hardships, abuse, and loneliness in foreign lands. Thank you Rose Marie for giving them this recognition.
