" a Mama's Job"

A mama's job is so hard her work is never done.
She works from dusk til dawn and she never has no fun.

Doing laundry,washing dishes,sweep and mopping floors.
Making beds,cooking and sewing clothes that kids have tore.

Our mama's work is so hard she's always doing for us.
Taking her kids where they need to go her car is like a bus.

When it's bedtime and mom has tucked us all in.
She pours her glass of wine and says tomorrow it starts again.
                                       Teresa Skyles

Please let me enter this one Carolyn cause a mama's job is the hardest.

Enjoyed reading your work...It is great to read someone's else opinion of the role of mother..They say that what a woman with children does is like having to work two and one-half jobs...It is hard but those little ones make our day special so many times..I appreciate your kind comments on my work..Have a blessed afternoon..Sara
