CRAFTSMAN by EDNA BENDIG

First Line: I'M CARVING LILIES ON THE CROSS
Last Line: I'M CARVING LILIES ON THE CROSS.
Subject(s): CARVING (ARTS);

I'm carving lilies on the Cross.
I clean our house and cook our meals,
And plant Swiss-chard and Irish moss;
I bathe the baby, mend our clothes.
I darn enormous gaps in heels,
And tend to little Bobby's nose.
I'm carving lilies on the Cross.
