At home it's always labor day No sick leave,days off with pay No holidays, but some work must be done To keep things in an orderly way! No filling out a time card But many hour spend, many that's hard To keep things going on the homefront In the house and in the yard. No union board to protect her For many claims she'd have, sure For endless hours of services rendered "Hey Mom, when we gonna have dinner?" The Hubby's home at 5 or so Done for the day, oh don't you know But her work just keeps going on Where's the gratitude for her to show? Labor day at home is all the times Let's honor them as true heroines "My wife don't work-she stays at home" Is one of the biggest lies of all times! Here's to the Women- we honor you today For your loving unselfish ways Your labors of Love are oft taken for granted But you deserve our utmost Praise!   WOW- another day of life-and here among friends! Ain't God Grand! |

David~ Well-deserved praise. May I add - Hubby is content Kids are glowing with your love Good things come around A labor of love Without drawing a paycheck Check the dividends Blessings flow within The house turns into a home Woman's prayers answered ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ noles1@totcon.com |

David; Thank you, Thank you! I spent 25 years at home, raising the children etc. This is a tribute that is well deserved and many women will love you for writing it.

David, Your words honor the often forgotten, Those taken for granted, Who rarely complain but take care of us day in and day out! My hats off to all the hard working mothers and wifes that make our lifes livable and rewarding. May we never forget! Nice poem Dave! Dennis :^) |

David, this was so thoughtful of you...something that I've come to expect from you though, how kind a heart to honor so many women who go unnoticed and unappreciated. Thanks for this one. MarcyWritten so well! |
