The sweat of women
Drench their face
Drip to the ground
Water the fertilized seeds
To grow new life
Women sweat
Working hard for the family
Women sweat
Cleaning house and cooking food
Women sweat
Making plates and cleaning dishes
women sweat making babies
And having babies
Women sweat
Keeping him happy and keeping him at home
Women sweat
Making that phone call to her to claim him
Women sweat
Going over there to get him
Women sweat being sexy and smart
Women sweat cleaning and dressing kids
Women sweet teaching and loving kids
Women sweat dancing and singing
Women sweet
laughing and crying
Women sweet sewing and mending
Women sweat loving the in laws
Women sweat remembering all the birthdays and anniversaries
Women sweat the small things that make the big things possible
Women sweat everything that everyone forgot
Women sweat through that time of the month and still function
Women sweat keeping the family together
Women sweat when they have had enough
Women sweat raising kids by themselves
Women sweat
being mothers and lovers sisters and daughters
The sweat of women
Drench their face
Drip to the ground
Water the fertilized seeds
To grow new life
And we thank you
And we thank you
And we thank you
