Her profession has variety, and I will tell you now About the many hats she wearsand why and when and how. 1. My mommys a nurse who fixes and patches, All of my hurts and my sores and my scratches. 2. My mothers a chef who fixes each dinner, Fit for a kinga blue- ribbon winner! 3. My moms a chauffeur who drives pretty slow, But gets me to places where I need to go. 4. My moms a detective, and no one is greater, At getting the truth from me sooner or later. 5. My mommys a gardener and works really hard, Planting and weeding and grooming our yard. 6. My mothers a maidat least thats what she said Cause she cleans up the house and makes every bed. 7. My mothers an angela queen in disguiseWho teaches the gospel with tears in her eyes. Today take these hats off, and please wear no other. Let me do your work, to show I LOVE YOU, MOTHER!
