Subhra Sarkar's Meaningful Life


"Had I not had children, my life would have been meaningless."



To be a woman
is to be a mother

joy is not simply happiness
joy is life
creating it
caring for it

I am wife
I am daughter
I am woman

Above all
I am mother

A good life is one filled with meaning

meaning means
more
than maintenance of self

Meaning means

Three freshly fixed meals a day
Preparing for the next day’s school lessons
washing and worrying
praying and working

Meaning
means
Making my little boys
Men
turning them into the grown ups
all mothers want their children to be
