Maids in India

A house maid is a blessing, no doubt about that
She wears on her head, many a hat

Be it using gadgets or arranging the vase
She aces it all at an alarming pace

When dinner guests arrive, the table’s all set
With dishes that everybody’s appetites, do whet

She cleans up the house and utensils too
Picks up on our whims, oh it’s so true

Let’s acknowledge this now and not keep her apart
Let’s give her a place inside our heart

She too may need to share joys and pain
Let’s listen to her, with nothing to gain

If she misses work, for a day or two
Let’s make sure we know what to do

To check if the reason is an ailing child
Or a drunken husband, behaving wild

Let’s tell her we appreciate her bettering our life
And help her too, in her miseries and strife!!
