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!
