The Lady of the House

The Lady of the House

 

Her life was fully given

A commitment seldom faltering

A loveless marriage irreparable

One in complete despair

Four sons and a daughter to care

The joy and pride of her life

Maternal duties, daily chores, a high price

A home cleaned and made every day

A woman of strong character all the way

Faithful and true to her devoted flock

Yet forfeited the opportunity to swot

To advance a fine mind to its limit

An intellect superior in kind to boot

There could have been a different route

The world of academia did call

yet she forsook all

For those she loved and gave to them

the best she could

No hint or suggestion of regret did she ever display

as she kept home night and day
