Happy Women's Day

Nature’s first successful science project, The fate of the galaxy relies on the changing of your mind. Curses and gifts. An uplifting redundancy surrounds the pronunciation Of all your phases. Kin to the world. Keeping the earth well feed With the fruit of your consideration. In love with all things young and old. From high valleys and low roads, You display many moods and modes, I try my best to play catch up. Truth is I’m lost with or without you. You leap to your feet for good luck, Only to pass it to the next man. A fan of peace and laughter, Determined not spend life cornered by strife. You stand for right. But no one understands your plite. Do you know whom I speak of? The person with the biggest smile, And the nicest compliments. The one that will stay to help you clean after the party’s over. That hardy cooker. That class act. The one that got your back, no question about it. So who could it be? It is she! That woman, That mother, That girlfriend, That lover That gay brother, That best friend, And cousin. The ones you’ve borrowed time, Love, money, Space, ideas, And expectation from. And since I never will be able to pay you back, I want to say thank you from the bottom of my heart. Happy Belated Mother’s Day!
