Sunita Rhandelwal's Joy


at thirty I lost my husband
I was prepared to raise my boys alone
although he is dead
my sons' father is still my husband
I will never remarry

to live is to struggle
to struggle is to have stress
to be content is the only option

I have only known a life of work
selling sweets
teaching girls to cook
managing my house
my days begin early and end late

To be idle is to be unhappy
To work is to have joy
