Happy Post Labor Day

Like a morning after
But with a new born now in tow
The euphoria of birth’s endorphins
Not yet downed by postpartum blues.
Forget the labor unions 
And their favored status this holiday
This is really a national holiday
About women, and what they are best at
And indispensable for
Children!
Mother’s Day is great of course 
As a Hallmark celebration
But Labor Day is equally about mothers
But because of what mothers 
Are actually mothers of
Children!
Happy post Labor Day everyone
Because we are all someone’s child.
