Nature’s way of ensuring life’s being

Baby’s wailings are sure signs of

either the diapers need changing

or hunger is forcing an issue

Moms, the mobile kitchen are always

at hand. Mom comes running to appease anger

Infants are spared of pangs of hunger

But not for long as change of diet

requires a proper kitchen besides

breast-feeding, warmth and loving care

Early in life the kitchen is seen as an

unequalled savior in the household,

a sanctuary for  mothers to hone her culinary

skills, useful in the long run to ease off from

breast-feeding, or to whip up a quickie snack

for the growing-up years and to stack up the

 ‘fridge and warmers ready for the fast moving

teenagers.  All the while in the background

though, expectation is high from the head of the

household who may sometimes be more

demanding.  An intelligent lady ought to

make adjustments to keep the cries of

empty stomachs within wraps

That’s the reason why mothers are invented

and kept busy!

Note: Apologies all round! Can't thank mothers enough for being there when we need them!
