Poem Title:
Poem
I celebrate wonderful mothers who always put the needs of their children first, the single mothers who especially must sacrifice to help their children survive and thrive with little money coming in, yet finding ways to make them feel they fit in. I celebrate mothers who dole out love in great abundance and always take the time to listen to their children's concerns and problems with sage advice that comes from wisdom's experience. I celebrate the grandmothers who have stepped in to raise their grandchildren when their daughters can't or won't. These are Earth's angels. I celebrate the step-mothers who raise their stepchildren without any reservation, loving them as their own. They've earned a place in heaven. I celebrate adoptive mothers who raise their adopted children with the same acceptance and love a birth mother bestows. They are God's gracious gifts. I celebrate the mothers who have lost their children, through death, kidnapping or by any other loss. Their suffering cannot be gauged. Let them receive blessed peace. I celebrate the dear daughter in laws who have become beloved daughters as they become mothers to their mother in law’s precious grandchildren. I celebrate the foster mothers who give abused and orphaned children a temporary loving home. They have a direct line to the divine. I celebrate great grandmothers who continue to teach their daughters, granddaughters, and great granddaughters, by example, how to be great mothers. I especially celebrate the homeless mothers living on the streets, through circumstances beyond their control, who somehow manage to keep their families together. I celebrate those mothers who live in impoverished countries who have starved to make sure their children have enough food to keep them alive. Blessed mothers who’ve died for that sake, and for those who have died giving birth. I celebrate the time, effort and selfless love bestowed upon every lucky child who has been given the precious gift of a loving mother! A heartfelt Happy Mother's Day to all! © Connie Marcum Wong Poem of the Day for Monday 11 May, 2015
