The Musings of an Unostentatious Homemaker

From the time I was born I thought I was free To do as I chose But I was all wrong Life turned out to be a compromise. As a baby I could not choose My own clothes or food I babbled and I cooed But was not understood Life turned out to be a compromise. As a child when I found my voice Nobody paid attention To any of my thoughts and tension But I was not too juvenile Life turned out to be a compromise. And as I grew older My choice of a career or a life partner Were selected by others And as always I was ignored Life turned out to be a compromise. Now that I am old and infirm My thoughts don't reach them They cut and tear my body to keep me alive But I know about my mortality Life turned out to be a compromise. 

She made me a mother For the first time when she was born  She became the apple of my eyes And soon changed from a cygnet to a swan.  She's  the wind behind my sails And my closest friend  She gives me strength  And keeps me going during any stress. She's fiercely protective of her own She's turned into a lovely lady  With a heart of gold  We depend on her for all that we do.  She's my most prized possession She's my life She's a rare diamond  My dear firstborn.

Her birth was a surprise She was a blessing from God She was our little miracle Who completed us all. She's the heart of our house Growing up pretty fast In a trice from a baby She's almost an adult. She's fire and ice Fiercely protective of her menage She's my pride and joy Who I love immensely. She will always be special She is my prized pearl My second born My little girl.

My family is my strength We fight and we brawl Disagree about all There's no one who can break our bond. My family is my power We love and we hate Sometimes foe but mostly mate There's no one who can tear apart our link. My family is my force We may go different ways But our enemies for each other we slay There's no one who can shatter our connect. My family is the root That holds me erect And keeps me steady During all storm and tempest.  

It was just yesterday She was a small baby With an innocent face And a toothless smile Cooing and babbling through life. Metamorphosis Amazes me She changed before my eyes From a caterpillar to a butterfly. Then she was young schoolgirl Happy and smart Enjoying her life With her friends and family Playing and learning through life. Metamorphosis Astounds me She changed before my eyes From a fledgling to a bird. Now she is an adult A beautiful young lady Who knows her duties And competent in all she does Working and carousing through life. Metamorphosis Bewilders me She changed before my eyes From a fawn to a deer.
