Rosemarie Staat Poet Rhyme

Matriarch

Three boys and seven girls
Our house was never in a whirl

You were always giving and never taking
Meal after meal you were making

Never taking time for yourself
Always thinking about someone else

Three boys and seven girls 
Our house was never in a whirl

With just one look 
You could read me like a book

I laughed and said: 
"You have eyes on the back of your head"

Three boys and seven girls 
Our house was never in a whirl

When things went wrong 
You stood so strong 

Taking away all my fears 
Comforting me with the words I longed to hear

Three boys and seven girls 
Our house was never in a whirl

You made our house a home
With your warming tone

Laughter bounced off the walls
Joy flowed through halls

Three boys and seven girls 
Our house was never in a whirl
