If anyone deserves a prize
And merits recognition,
It is the WORKING MOTHER
We should praise for her position.
She balances a host of duties,
Home and job related,
It takes your breath away
To see a life so dedicated.
It really is amazing
To observe her life in action,
Yet sad that her own private time
Is merely an abstraction.
WE understand her true frustration
For those jobs unfinished,
Yet stand in utter awe of her
Ambition undiminished.
The WORKING MOTHER is the rarest
Blend of love and caring.
She reaches out to do so much--
Her life is one of sharing.
Let's never take for granted
Her uniqueness and her drive.
Her routine is the toughest one
A person can survive.
What kind of recognition
Is she owed cause she's the best?
The HIGHEST--but she'll settle for
A little bit of REST !
