Two Women in Man's Life [Tanka]

Man has two women -
In the first woman's belly
his life has started
whereas the second woman
has thrown her life in his hands

    At first, I was drawn to read this because of the title, and yes, I thought the man has two partner at a time. But, after I finish reading, I am totally amazed by this tiny piece because it speaks the life of every man living. Great choice of words, and that makes this piece seems lovely.

    Well-penned!

    Oh, I took from this a father and husband as the man, and the women are his partner and she is carrying his daughter.

    Nice piece!

    And yet he has to take care of them both for a time! This is a very good piece. The mother teaches a man how to hold the heart of another.
