Poem Artwork

Husband and wife follow their different ways

To maintain family's unity and welfare,

Operating devotedly from both ends: indoor of her

And outdoor for him, not other way round.

Through such division of responsibilities

A family achieves harmony and creditability.


 
But once he plays fast and loses his game,

Shooting in one place to get his share in another,

He will never bag his captured takes,

As the land of his sport is in the opposite way,

So that he is fully confused with his failure;

Hence credibility gap and lower self-appraisal.


 
As for her, despite disorientation of her man,

She loves him and supports her spouse in all,

Keeping the home fires burning ceaselessly.

Therefore, the question remains unresolved:

Is it a household that keeps the state affairs

In working order? If so, who is a true driver?

This is a very good poetic pondering poem. Still, today many couples reverse roles. It's mutual respect and courtesy that will shine through or jealousy and envy will take its toll. In the end, the question remains. Who really has the upper hand? It's usually the woman, not the man. Well done! Amen!

It is always the woman that provides the home base and the nest for their shared offspring. Reminds me of when my mother turned the tables on my father after he retired and made him do laundry, vacuuming and other household chores so that she could relax as much as he did.

A man of affairs always needs a good woman to keep the home fires steady while he is out there scoring points. Hillary comes to mind.
