Having faltered once
she did not want to climb.
However much she was persuaded
she stayed stubborn,
Being well seen she was
gripped in fear.
The lurking ache
kept her from doing.
The impact being great
she stood aghast
not going forward
trembling in fear.
Being so much oppressed
always thinking of it
made her dull and desolate
a thought of it
would bring tears
in total despondency.
The commitments being great
wanting to settle her daughter in life
she has to take decisions
forgetting the plight
she had undergone in
another daughter’s life.
That which happened once
will not happen again
She must understand
and get going in life
not postponing any more
as her delay would yield no results.
