I'm the monster scare-awayer
When it's dark and time for bed,
Expert plaster putter-onner
For those cuts from toe to head.
A degree in cuddles,snuggles
Warming words for a broken heart,
And i'm quickest draw at hankies
For when the tears start.
I'm cook although my meals
Do not always look so great
It's dished up quick and all a fed
A meal on their plate.
I'm referee to stop the wars
When fists may start to fly,
But when all is calm and all asleep
I sometimes sit and cry.
I'm ironer, cleaner,
dog shit picker-upper,slave,
And when all falls down around me
On the outside I am brave.
I'm billy whizz at shopping
With a trolley on two wheels,
Dashing home with twenty bags
To prepare thte evening meals.
The constant nag of naggerers
That's always on your case,
The one who sees that cocky
Little look upon your face.
I'm painter, decorator
Odd job woman, mrs fix it,
If it has a tear just hand a thread
I'll see if i can stitch it.
I'm the voice that will defend you
If you're ever treated wrong
And the arms that wrap around you
When your days been hard and long.
I am not a robot,
Who i sometimes feel to be
If you look at little closer; you will find
...i'm only ME!
I'm the clown to make you smile
When you're feeling at a low,
But you step out of line
And believe me, you will know.
I'm the lego castle builder
I'm the ever ready purse,
And i'm always armed and ready
If you ever need a nurse.
I'm the solver of a problem
I'm the shoulder here to lean
I'm the fastest chocolate hider
You have ever bloomin seen.
I am the ears that listen
I am the heart that bleeds,
The one who tries her very best
To cater all your needs.
I'm the fighter of the battles
I can conquer any army,
I'm the bestest ever maker
of a tripple decker sarnie.
I can fix the un-fixable
Just pass a little glue,
I'm a super duper trooper
But that's all down to you.
Just when I think I know it all
You teach a little more,
I stand back and often think
Why did i not know that before?
I'm the one who's been there
Got the T.shirt; don't you see?
But so often you're the ones
That i find are teaching me.
I'm the one who watches
As every day you grow
The one who often wonders
Where did the years go?
I'm the one who worries
If ever you're late home,
Pacing up and down the floor
Checking on the phone.
I'm the hand to guide you
Heart to love you, arms to hold,
The rock to keep you safe
From what life may unfold.
You're the laughter in my life
You're the love that keeps me strong,
You're the ones that make me realise
I'm right where I belong.
You're the ones that bring me sunshine
You're the ones that find my smile,
You're the ones that reassure me
That it's all been so worth while.
But somewhere, in between the cooker,
Plaster putter-onner; picker-upper
Look a little closer and you'll see
Somewhere deep inside...
There's only ME.
