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
