Fine Sewing

 

Stitch by stitch,

The fine lady sews 

Her gift,

Her home,

Her future to

Hold her heart.

 

Corner by corner,

The diligent housewife sweeps

Her room,

His room,

And prepares for the

Baby's coming.

 

Joy comes with a price.

Pain highlights the dedication.

Decorations are well thought.

Boxes are not allowed.

 

Oh, we all marry our parents

At certain times.

Well, we all live in the present,

For sure.

And, we all jog slowly in the future,

With hope.
