Ay, trey, a touch of today reminiscent in her
Dreams of yesterday
She wears many hats this lady of the house
Often does not have a spouse
A mother, breadwinner, child bearer,
There is no question in her mind
As she makes everything flow beneath
The velvet glove and iron hand
Achievement in each day as she glories
In her children’s stories
As snafu’s come her way she
Unravels them devoid of dismay
One of her many hats, chauffer, Caregiver,
Cook, Secretary, breadwinner
Her greatest reward, knowing well each
Day come what may she did her best
Yearning, for that sweet rest
A moment alone that no one would test
You will find her shopping, at the local school
Cheering her offspring that she drives
There each day
On her job, working for not enough pay
She is the Classic woman of today!
