The Girl Child
Oh! All the excitement has
ceased
A girl has been born again…
The mother looks lovingly
at the infant’s face
but the father is very angry.
The mother in law makes a
face
while the sister in law talks wickedly,
How dare she produced a
girl child again
when she has one silly daughter already!!
There is hush hush among
the relatives,
no rejoicing among the family.
The neighbors don’t come
to visit,
At home all is quiet and sundry.
Only the new mother is
happy,
her heart is full of music…
She knows she will be
treated unkindly
but can’t help feeling brightly.
