Hold the Crumbs

Today so many young women
Don't know how to cook meals
They can drive through Wendy's window
Ordering a good deal

Today so many young women
Can't sew a stitch to mend
They can catch all the sales events
On credit cards depend

Today so many young women
Haven't had a good guide
They only learned from poor examples
Schools' lessons brush aside

What can be done to change their lives
Homemaker to become
Can the schools be responsible?
No! The elders hold the crumbs

You have shared some wise words, Sara! I think men should pull some of the load, too, if the wife is working outside the home. I do everything at home: cook, clean, repairs, child care, but I can't sew a stitch! I depend on my mother-in-law for that...congrats to you on a great win! Hugs, Rhonda

Congratulations on your win Sara, although I find many of the mothers I know have become great mothers and are much more health consciences than their mothers were. The new generation seems to of seen what their parents failed to do. They are true super moms.
