Chocolate and Bouquets of Flowers

On Mother’s Day
  we buy chocolate
and bouquets of flowers 

Write her cards
  with syrupy thoughts
wait in restaurants for hours

As if this thanks a mom and mother
  for all she does for us
Think what you will ~ I say it is unjust

i wrote a poem with a similar theme, gershon. it's amazing that some people actually think that celebrating like that for one day a year is enough...

I couldn't agree more Gershon. Just having my children come to visit and spend time with me is all I need. Enjoy your day :-)

Indeed. In my opinion a lingering hug and a sincere "thanks for you do" goes a lot further to express the sentiment than a box of chocolates and a bouquet of flowers. Just my opinion!
