But what is a mother if not for a conductor, someone who orchestrates the lives of those in her family.

But what is a mother but not for a healer, whose kisses can fix those places that hurt.

But what is a mother if not for a baker, whose cookies and goodies have that extra special sweetness.

But what is a mother if not for a chef, whose meals appear like magic just when you are hungry.

But what is a mother if not for a housekeeper, walking about putting things in their spaces.

But what is a mother if not for a counselor, whose wise counsel can reach even the darkest of places.

But what is a mother, but not for a woman who is just trying her best to keep it all together.
