A woman

Today as i was traveling by a shared means of transport after a long long time, I met different people as we always do. I could not help but notice the lady sitting diagonal to me with her eyes wide open, perhaps in fear, perhaps it was worry. She was staring at her thoughts and ocassionally shaking her head in, i believe, disbelief. She often shut her worried eyes for a few seconds, praying to God. She glanced at the young man sitting next to her every now and then and would shake her head and murmur to herself. Her fears i could not understand. But it made me forget my own. And all the time I was looking at her I prayed to God to take her worries away. She was to me a woman with so much strength that as she gulped down the tears that surfaced in her eyes, back to her heart, she didn't utter a sign. She is my inspiration of strength and fight.
