I am a homemaker.
I stitch. I cook. I mend. I clean.
For comfort and safety.
I plant. I cook. I gather. I pray.
For Evelyn. A gift.
I darn. I sing. I plot. I plan.
I can fold a fitted sheet like it's flat.
My grandmother taught me how.
I wash. I fold. I sew. I reap.
For to learn. To teach.
I love. I build. I rinse. Repeat.
Inhale. Exhale. Inhale. Exhale.
Mmmmm. You like that apple pie? That flaky crust?
Your grandmother taught me how.
I mix. I stitch. I dig. You dig?
For growth. For joy.
I measure. I cut. I build. I clean.
I stitch. I cook. I plant. I mend.
I am strong.
My mother taught me how.
