    For our Mothers...

    The hard work that women do, particularly our mothers is often taken for granted. My feeling is that we should honour the hard work they do/have done for us.  So here I thought I would send my regards to all those hard working women and share a beautiful poem...

    Womens Work by Maya Angelou

     
      I've got the children to tend
    The clothes to mend
    The floor to mop
    The food to shop
    Then the chicken to fry
    The baby to dry
    I got company to feed
    The garden to weed
    I've got shirts to press
    The tots to dress
    The can to be cut
    I gotta clean up this hut
    Then see about the sick
    And the cotton to pick.  Shine on me, sunshine
    Rain on me, rain
    Fall softly, dewdrops
    And cool my brow again.

     

     

    Storm, blow me from here
    With your fiercest wind
    Let me float across the sky
    'Til I can rest again.

     

     

    Fall gently, snowflakes
    Cover me with white
    Cold icy kisses and
    Let me rest tonight.

     

     

    Sun, rain, curving sky
    Mountain, oceans, leaf and stone
    Star shine, moon glow
    You're all that I can call my own.
