Mothers Day

We set aside a Sunday

the early part of May,

to honor our Mothers,

we call it Mothers Day.

-

Just one day out of

three-hundred-sixty-five,

we devote to the woman

who made sure we would survive.

-

She nurtured and she fed us,

and she taught us how to live.

She gave us everything

it was in her power to give.

-

Her heart swelled with pride

when the choice we made was right,

but if we chose not wisely, she

worried long into the night.

-

The selfless love she gave us

is scarcely understood,

until we, too are blessed

to experience motherhood.
