A few years ago Tears rolled down You became a widow Having to care for two children Compelled to leave me To take refuge in your parents’ abode I pity your situation With a very responsible task Ahead of you To see the welfare of the two loved children Money, time and health Your needs of the hour You have to remain employed Daughter-in-law Be courageous Think of the world’s first woman Prime Minister And the first woman President Both were widows Yet, they excelled in life Never be disheartened There’s no doubt Your dear parents and friends Will be there with you To guide and help you In times of need I hope and pray Long life for your loving parents Who look after you and the little ones Remember Life’s journey is with ups and downs And never one way And when one door closes Another door opens Aim high With your strong will power Face the future With courage without fear
