Mommy Deserves The Best

An ode to my mom, a single woman who has done a wonderful job raising me

No matter what she’s doing
You can always count
On the fact that she’s always working
Always out and about

Two teenage children
Who deserve a good school
Precocious but, for a single mother
Something of a handful

But she makes the money and cooks the food
You can’t deny that she works hard
She still finds time to talk to friends and look good
She’ll never forget to send postcards

Then the legs bend and she’s at the table
Four legs under her keeping her stable
It’s not that she’s lazy, not that she’s beat
She just managed to get glued to her seat

So get her water when she runs out
Get her pills when she forgets
Because after all that time out and about
Mommy deserves the best
