Of Mothers' Devotion

Cheek by jowl with a responsible mother If you place a responsible father To determine the affects of each parent On the infants that they both parent Despite the father's impacts to make them flourish The mother's devotion will always astonish Give kudos to every nursing mother Busy like the ants they make me wonder From dawn to dusk despite being exhausted With their babies they are unbenighted With babies many fathers are like fighting fire But a mother's breast gives hope to babies in quagmire Everynight with the mother of my children Seeing how my children have her sleep broken I am prompted to move the needle With a new vow that with her I won't play the fiddle
