My Valentine

My Valentine isn’t always nice and sweet,

Some of those qualities she doesn’t always meet;

She spends all day raising my boy;

Going to work and being my toy.
*****
She is the doctor and cleans my house,

Not to delicate to kill a mouse;

She tolerates and mends my dogs,

Plays with my son and handles his frogs.
*****
She washes our clothes and puts up with my friends,

Loves my daughter and all of her trends;

She takes care of us and gives us something to eat,

And scold the boy when he doesn’t raise the seat.
*****
She isn’t always nice and sweet,

Those qualities she doesn’t always meet;

But to me and my family she’s sent from above,

She’s our mother and wife, the one we love.
