one of my favorite poems so encompasses my life I think:

The Home keeper by Frank L. Stanton

About her household moving glad each day,
With heartfelt care of all the simplest things;
and near her side a child's voice coos and sings,
she hears the noise of pattering feet at play,
and pauses oft to kiss the lips that say
"Mother!" and joys to feel the hand that clings
close to her heart, as to her apron strings-
Nor would she chide that little hand away!
Then, when the day hath drifted to the dark,
and brightening stars loom through the twilight late,
She feels the heart within her bossom stir
at every leaf that strikes the lattice.... Hark!
Her life's reward-a footstep at the gate,
and love that comes to claim the love of her!
