Can someone answer her please.....

A Girl child's question..  WHERE DO I BELONG?

Fathers, temporarily their daughters keep ; they really to their husbands home belong.

A second-citizen she is, who with her family of birth, won't be staying too long.

But alas it is she who dearly loves them, having emotional attachments strong.

Strangely after marriage, husbands call her paternal home as her home.

Making sure, claims she does not any rights, on his home.

Confused totally now she is, where does she belong ; which is her real home.

After years many of toil, thinks she, she has now settled in her own abode
When suddenly daughters in law, and her own sons her wounds erode ;

They wish to leave her in a home for the aged ; may be  not really on the road!!!
