Mother

 

In one hand a cloth,

in one hand a hammer,

in one hand a tin whistle,

in another an oar,

in one hand a tin of beans,

another a knife,

in another a baby’s bottle,

another a pen,

another holding a book,

another holding a pillow,

another a shovel,

and a hand holding a map

while her family rests in her arms.
