All-In-All
My mother filled so many roles,
In helping seven meet their goals.
She reared us by her fine-tuned tools
Of simple but unbending rules.
She was teacher, preacher, censor,
Most of all a love dispenser,
A mentor, doctor, nurse and cook,
Skills not yet found in any book,
Seamstress, laundress and home-maker,
Maid and cake and cookie baker,
All the time filling Daddy's life
With happiness as his loved wife.
