At the onset of motherhood
And the loss of education
Strong hands nurture and toil
And so tenderly love

As years pass, her body wearies
And her spirit weakens
And one day, the rose of her grandmother
Fades and withers

Fear jolts her awake
And courage begins to stir
And in quick work
Wakens her soul

Three years of high school
And four years of college
Before her goal is complete
Before they can move on

Still her strong hands nurture
Relentless she toils
And reckless she gives
     All I can say

       Is Lady
