The Lady of the house

Every morning she raids the market

To pick the fresh fruits, veggies and minced meat

she does not leave until she gets what she wants

handpicking  is her skill, on her none can cheat

she has the meals planned for the week

healthy and tasty food for her family she cooks

on-time everything is ready at the table

 she has also mastered how a presentable food looks

She has lot of options open in her workshop

what ever one asks for, she makes them in no time

who ever came in, never left her home hungry

smiling and singing,  her food speaks in lovely chime

Her family was never ill and sick, good food was the reason

she rightly knew what time to give children peaches ,plums and berries

A fresh veggie soup in winter, frozen crannies jelly for summer

she planned it so well, her family had no food worries

She does not yell and crib when she does the dishes

Smile always adored her oval face, never lackadaisical

A clean and organised kitchen is her favorite place

Baking, barbecue, salads, desserts- she turns dream of every foodie real

she created a tiny busy world in her house

the one that always smelt good and filled with smile like a rose

she had a love affair with cooking, dishing out the varieties

A ton of thank you is never enough, to the lady of the house.

P.S:  The lady of the house does much more than cooking like taking care of her kids, managing the finances, having her own career and many more to mention. I have highlighted the cooking aspect of her in the poem
