A woman or a tribe, who am I?

Who am I?

I am the giver of life

the harbinger of happiness

your mother, sister and wife

I am the eternal flow of love

compassion's treasure trove

I love to dream big

pierce clouds, make my life a hit

amaze all through perseverance and wit

I jealously guard my family

hold them together in a tapestry 

be it joyous moment or times of melancholy

life has fooled and fuddled me many times

rays of hope too eluded me

but, I have mustered up courage

stood erect with conviction and grit

I too am the epitome of sacrifice

panacea for dark and evil.
