Dusting through the various trophies that mark the achievements of every individual in the house.
A thought flutters through her mind
Where do I stand amidst all these achievers?
There is nothing around which signifies any of her achievements.
Cause she is just a housewife.
With the first rays of the sun, her day begins.
Not for her, but to make sure those with professions get their essentials taken care of.
Breakfast, lunch for kids, and everyone who needs to walk out of the door and make a mark in the world.
Training her kids to soar while she has clipped her own wings.
The morning when nobody seems to find anything she pulls off stuff from her magic cloak.
Can't find my specs, my shoe isn't polished my bottles are not filled.
Everyone needs their demand met exactly at the same time, no appointment here.
And to add a cherry on the chaos, an infant screaming its head out for attention.
Packed and with a kiss of goodbye for the day, she lays back for a break.
But wait what about the rest who are still at home it's time for their breakfast.
No schedule, no break, no appointment because she is just a housewife.
Lucky enough if she gets some house help but if not then it's time to tidy up the place.
Cleaning dishes, laundry, dusting, brooming, everything just keep on doing because she is just a housewife.
She is the one who makes the house a home.
The one that pitches in those late-night coffee's and snacks when people are busy leaving a mark in their profession.
She is the reason why anyone can pull off a tidy dress out of their closet.
The nutritionist who tries to balance the nutrition of the young and old.
The organizer who organizes not only those messed up cupboards but the life of every family member.
The cleaner when someone has or doesn't has house help.
A teacher whose lesson plans are made just in the morning.
A tailor whose stitch in time saves the day.
A nurse for anyone sick in the family.
A comforter lending a shoulder to anyone who needs to cry on.
The invisible force in every household.
Irony she never gets her pay.
We put all this in just one-word HOUSEWIFE.
No, no, no we have bit fancier word now and we call them 'homemaker', but yes just a homemaker.
The force behind everyone's achievements at home.
Just a homemaker, that's the way we describe them.
No shifts no breaks, no sick leaves.
And when someday they try and think of going ahead with their dreams.
A simple question on their resume leaves them questioning their choices in life "what did you to all these years "
And the answer is only one
Yes sir !! I was just a housewife!!!
