A Mother’s World

A Mother’s World

 

A Mother’s work is never done,

It’s much too full of run and run;

My life each day with children four,

Has shown me a Mother’s score.

 

There’s two in school and two at home

Who daily keep me on the roam,

With “tan I Mama, tan I play?”

My baby’s talk rates A-plus-A!

 

Now when I think my day’s ‘bout though

There’s always something happening new-

Like when their bantam hatched her ten,

Right to the house they brought them in.

 

But then I know without my four

That life would be a lonesome bore,

For they’re my joy, my life, my glow…

I love them all from head to toe!
