Sita - A Poem

Strong enough to have the 'Shiv Dhanush' as her toy

Coy enough to surrender to Ram who broke her toy

Adamant enough to give up the Palace Pleasures and walk the harsh jungles with her husband

Callow enough to lust after a golden deer

Wily enough to make Ram, go after it

Naive enough to cross the 'Lakshman Rekha'

Devoted enough to not to succumb to Ravana's charms and threats

Committed enough to go through the 'Agni Pariksha'

Stoic enough to be the first ever documented single mother

Valiant enough to say 'No More' and join her mater...

Sita, don't we all have a part of her, in our selves, generations after generations....
