THE WOMAN OF THE HOUSE


She's the first one up at morning
Before the rising sun
She's the last one to go to bed
After the day is done.

She's must be able to listen
When she's no one to hear
To things she doesn't want to do
Say, "Yes, I'd love to, Dear."

She must ease the pain of others
While holding hers, inside
Not let them know, of all the times
She's sat alone and cried.

She must be a great source of strength
Yet, gentle and caring
Expecting nothing in return
For, all of her sharing.

She must be a fountain of love
With, an eternal flow
And when the light of life grows dim
She must provide the glow.

She's must be Mother and Grandma
Wife, lover and a friend
Be there for all to lean on
From, beginning to end.

Without the woman of the house
A house is not a home
When she's gone, it gives new meaning
To being all alone.

So, if you have one treat her well
And tell her that you care
For, if you don't, some day you'll look
To find, she isn't there.
