My Courageous Move

I am a homemaker, I am happy to say,

In spite of a flourishing career at home, I chose to stay.

What brought about this paradigm shift, you ask me?

It was the fear of my child creche brought up, you will agree.

I am a homemaker, as proud as proud can be,

No job satisfaction can be greater than this, I guarantee.

Working all odd hours, without any break or pay,

It requires great organizational skills at your display.

I am a homemaker, tending to my family’s needs

The day goes in preparing innumerable feeds,

Rushing through the chores all day long,

In my heart, I know this is where I belong.

I am a homemaker, as bright as a lark,

On this front now I have to make my mark.

Up at the crack of a dawn,

I get down to work, humming a song.

I am a homemaker, in love with my family,

The day goes in looking after them happily.

It’s a choice I have made with a lot of thought,

Warm cuddly hugs from my dear ones in my kitty it has brought.

I am a homemaker and have the courage to acknowledge,

That in spite of being an alumna of a top business college;

I find it more fulfilling and rewarding to be at home,

And not just because I have an extra X chromosome.
