Hera


There once lived a woman smart and keen,

and most may even call her well a queen.

In love with a man she had fallen,

He was a type of man to play all ins.

Their relationship is nothing to disclose.

She even believed that he will propose.

Until one day she felt weak and sick to the stomach,

To the doctors the couple rushed on luck.

Awoken in the hospital bed,

with a giant pounding in her head.

she was to be expecting a baby,

and with that the father ran quick and hasty.

Sad and alone the woman would have never guessed,

but with a baby son she was blessed.

She raised him to grow bigger and taller,

all alone and without a father.

Shut out from society this woman was,

but she stood tall and worked just because.

She taught herself to be much like a cobra,

And that is why you may call her Hera.
