She is a daughter of this line,
Hers the keys to the house.
The children hers to teach,
Their childood is the stuff of her dreams.
Old in years, but young in spirit,
She moves in mysterious ways,
Beyond our ken.
Boldly she speaks, softly she treads,
And though she fears none,
She brooks no challenge from any side –
She is the mistress of the house.
In any debate or discussion,
She has the final word,
Her commands we obey,
It was thus always…
