NaPoWriMo #24 Frailty? Thy Name Is Woman

You give your body as a nest,
a loving pod for Future's pea;
a mother's nerves know no rest.
What do you know of frailty?
Thy name is Woman.

Raising a young family alone
with a husband at war or sea,
keeping a brave face and home -
what do you know of frailty?
Thy name is Woman.

Punching in and earning pay,
attending to their every plea,
with no ceiling in your way,
what do you know of frailty?
Thy name is Woman.

Ruling countries and empires,
earning votes and liberty
fighting battles, and fires
What do you know of frailty?
Thy name is Woman.
