Weary this day sigh in relief
Sticks for the stove porridge to heat
Wood chopper not no axe for she
Mothers expend their energies
Always they have children to feed
Her fire is warm children are fed
Stories to read mother well read
Their teeth are brushed now off to bed
Children at peace their prayers said
Mothers world wide their prayers inbred

That is exactly how mothers' days go, Jim. I remember when keeping my four fed consumed a great deal of my time. Smiles.

She does look tired, but not rest for the weary, with children to feed.
ReplyDeleteI think it's an ordeal to work with the wood in addition to everything else... so much has changed, when wood is for comfort and luxury...

Lucky is the child accorded with such special attentions. Pity though not many have these privileges! Excellent focus to child matters, Dr Jim!

Mothers are always a good subject.
ReplyDeleteLife used to be so hard - but even with the ease of today, mother's hearts are still the same.
