When she goes
Out everyday
To earn her bread
for the day
Silence swiftly descends
On the house
And one even hears it
Moving around
Kids stop their whining
Resign to their rooms
Kitchen turning into
A haunted place
Garden also looses its
Beauty and grace
And the dog also quietly
Goes to sleep
With no one to speak
Or nag at me
House feels lonely
A Deserted place
