Wife, companion, sweetheart, friend,

One on whom we all depend,

Chauffeur, laundress, cook and baker,

Casserole and cookie maker,

Seamstress, skilled in many arts,

Mending clothes and broken hearts,

Girl Scout leader, Sunday school teacher,

Confidante, advisor, preacher,

Bargain hunter, tutor, nurse,

Keeper of the family purse,

Neighbor, cousin, daughter, niece,

 Making beds and making peace,

Always smiling, always giving,

What a busy life they’re living,

Feeding children, dogs and cats,

How do they wear so many hats?
