Cut-Piece : SHE

She walks around the house all day taking care of everybody. She laughs when her kids laugh , she cries when they hurt. She remembers the time her husband comes back from work everyday, she cooks for him with all her heart, she beautifies the house, she waits. She hides her troubles and problems sometimes to be able to be there for family. She finds her happiness in the love she gets from them. She eats garlic because her kids love garlic. She doesn't know much about the world, but she knows her neighbors and is there for them in sickness and in health. She follows all series on television but somehow still finds time to shop for everyone.She prays all the time for everyone she loves, she closes her eyes when she hears a hymn being played somewhere because she is thinking of you. She haggles over a rupee with the greengrocer, but she wants you to buy the most expensive things because it makes her happy. She can kick your ass in mental calculations,  and at the same time she fasts for your health for days on end .
She knows where your socks are in the labyrinth of your cabinet, even when you don't. Sometimes when you are angry or upset, she lets you take it out on her with a smile. She smiles wider when you apologize later. She is the one who looks the most delicate or fragile in your family portrait, but she is your strength. The house crumbles when she falls ill. You need her around for positivity. She is a mother, a housewife, the core of the household. She is completeness. She is love. She is the balance of life. She is what you need to live.
