Throughout the day she triumphs
in the kitchen, keeping us fed and nourished and delighted
around the house she creates order, beauty

beyond our needs she gives us what will make us happy
above and beyond what others do
She triumphs as the best of mothers ever!

Moms
There are moms who want kids quiet,
moms who want kids clean,
moms who want kids hardworking,
moms who want kids polite,
moms who want kids obedient,
moms who want kids bright,
moms who want kids funny,
moms who want kids good,
moms who want kids to always behave
just the way they should.
You’re the kind of mom who wants kids all these things,
But mostly you want us happy, and that makes our hearts sing!
