Nurses of cuts and kissers of bruises Bankers of teeth, these fairies of tooth-es Combers of hairs and wipers of noses Immune to embarrassment, just duties the job poses Washers of dishes and stained shirts, pants and blouses A plumber, a carpenter, a female McGuyver of houses A coffee shop, a diner, a fancy French restaurant One kitchen suffices, with yet hardly a thought Off to work then the store, the soccer field and veterinary Logging more miles than Admiral Robert E. Perry A partner, a shoulder, a lover, a friend So many hats that are worn, still the list never ends Yet, one day a year just doesn’t seem fair For without your sacrifice, none of us would be here So knowing I’m not the first nor will I be the last, A heartfelt thank you to all mothers – future, present and past. |
