Mommy
I am a wife, I am a mother'
A housekeeper and a lover;
A financial whiz, the laundry keeper,
A hair stylist and sidewalk sweeper.
I am a counselor, the dryer of tears,
A shoulder to cry on, an answer to fears;
An under-bed-checker and toy picker-upper,
A chauffeur and fixer of supper.
I'm a shade=tree mechanic, nurse, and a Doctor,
All-time nutritionist and after school proctor;
But my best job of all is with just one kiss...
I'm the healer of 'owies.' My Sweet Total Bliss!
About this poem
I wrote this poem in the course of raising my children. Motherhood is difficult at times, yet the most rewarding accomplishment.
