That's Who…

Who is hard working and kind?
In everything they do,
Gives not takes, helps, not hurts,
A woman is, that's who.

Who will smooth out the troubles?
When things go wrong as they do,
Is fully understanding,
A woman is, that's who.

Who will take all the flac?
When everything's bad for you,
Will keep on smiling, though feeling bad,
A woman will that's who.

Who will never complain?
When hubby's home, tired and blue,
Will soak his feet, when her back's sore,
A woman will, that's who.

Who will ease the pain of the day?
When everyone's shouting at you,
Will take it all, and never moan back,
A woman will, that's who.

Who will balance the books?
When there's five in the family, not two,
Will juggle around, not make a sound,
A woman will, that's who.

Who is the one that's relentless?
When you're sick and she pulls you through,
Though it's hard, she doesn't complain,
A woman will, that's who.

Who asks nowt in return?
Who makes all the tea?
Who's the one that does it all?
Cos it sure as hell ain't me!
