Forgotten

The pain of labour is but a forgotten story

For nine months the load an extra weight

The daily chores done with no payment

The late nights while the world sleeps she stays awake to complete her chores

Early before the sun shows its face she's awake and working

At birth of her child the late nights continue

The early morning light she's awake before the whole house awakes

When the sun goes down her energy all gone she sits alone

The cuddles the hugs all gone when they're all grown

They marry they forgot her

To the care centre she is put there to be taken care of

The forgotten woman she becomes 

At old age no love no care no hugs and cuddle

In a home that was never her home back than
