A woman, multifaceted
With beauty that is seen
The covers of my book look nice
But there's so much in between
If you take the time to open me
And read each lovely page
You'll make a true discovery
You might just be amazed
A mother and a lover
A daughter and a friend
A stubborn Irish lassie
Yet not too stiff to bend
A heart that breaks so easy
For it loves so very strong
But common sense enough to know
It can't stay broke too long
I'll work hard when I want to
When the task at hand holds meaning
And sometimes when it doesn't
Like the cooking and the cleaning
Hater of what's evil
Though I sometimes go astray
But turn around before I have
Completely lost my way
