Mother's Day

Mother’s Day Mother’s Day is upon us. It’s time to give her what’s come due. No more taking for granted everything that you know she can do. Mom ties the family together, holding each in her safe, warm space. She is everything to everyone as each day takes its place. Nurse, cook, housewife, taxi, and part of your cheering squad, Teacher, lover, and tender mom who’ll chase away the storms… She’ll administer your fever while giving into your every need quite fast. Then she’ll take you to the doctor, and be the first to sign your cast. She’ll scold you when you’re wrong, and applaud you when you’re right… Then still be there to be your friend each and every night. Then give you a kiss as it’s off to bed while her eyes hold that warming spark. She’s held your hand, and scared away the monsters each time in the dark. But better… she’s held you heart forever so close and warm against the daily wars. And even when she’s gone she’s sworn to be your guardian angel ever more. All she asks once a year is a simple smile and hug from her special people so true. So here I am Mother… to say that I Truly Do Love You.
