The Versatile Matriarch

The comfiest human bed warmer I ever had,

My fundamental tutor of the good and the bad,

The original storyteller in my bedtime tantrums,

The resident photographer of my birthday albums.

 

The accidental magician who tricked me out of my worries,

A sympathetic dictator who scolds but allows my fancies,

My biased talent manager who always tells me I'm the best,

The loudest cheerleader who puts to shame all the rest.

 

The world's underrated chef cooking heavenly meals,

Our unpaid laundry lady worrying over water bills,

The overqualified nurse never leaving her patient,

Our top-notch budget analyst negotiating every payment.

 

The random gardener, she can grow anything with ease,

Our talkative historian, she stops recalling only if we say please,

The uncanny philosopher, we've learned a lot from her,

The lost and found administrator, tracking things hidden anywhere.

 

The most efficient multitasker I've ever known,

My trustworthy adviser who knows me down to my bones,

A tough fighter who keeps winning her every battle,

My life's co-creator and this world's greatest mother.
