Maid
Head bowed down mopping the floor
The maid of the house
Lives in a shanty close by
Her daughter is of marriagable age
Graduated from local college
A teacher in a neighbourhood school
In love with a young man
Earning well------ good family
Hopes blossom into flowers
A swinging Indipop on her lips
She's on the right path.She doesn't need tips

Methinks a maid's contentment is quite relative
Thanks for reading.Methinks a maid's contentment is quite relative. In my view everyone has his/her ups & downs in happiness & contentment. Very very relative respected nl1220. She is a real character .The daughter is now happily married with a 4 year old son.Unfortunately she is separated from her hubby but has grinned & bore it. So much for the l-o-n-g story. Sometimes I feel happier when I compare myself to the unfortunate people.
