Regrets
“I am a woman;
Then, where are my children?”
“I am a woman;
Then, where is my husband?”
Lines from a famous movie,
How true they are, even today;
How perfectly they describe my life
I soared as an eagle
Following my heart desire
I climbed the highest pick
In my quest for knowledge,
Understanding,
Career
I was unencumbered, free,
At least spiritual,
To follow my dreams
To satiate my tryst for knowledge and wisdom
For spiritual enlightenment
And now, like the famous actress from the old movie,
I’m facing the same questions:
Where are my children?
Where is my husband?”
