The Longest Celebration

Parvathy celebrates the various stages of womanhood, in this verse. An exclusive for Different Truths.

The celebration of womanhood,
and the longest celebration it is 
Right from birth to death
‘she’ is celebrated every moment!
In the womb she is celebrated, 
if she doesn’t face female sex abortion.
In the infancy she is celebrated,
A girl child is growing up, 
She is given anklets and bangles 
and given all due care, 
and the same accessories that
keep her beautiful until she dies.
Her puberty is celebrated,
well, her marriage too!!
not less her pregnancy –
glorifying her motherhood.
The sacrifices she makes,
that again fills splendid colours 
until the final grey touches, her 
And womanhood is celebrated,
and it’s the longest celebration!
