Ma Or Matajee: Mothers' Day 2018
"Brother from Another Mother, but the same Father!"
Russell Coleman jokes with me in Church (His Bride)
This weekend, we honor every mother, dear brother:
You once made a boy feel like a man, Fatherhood and pride ...
If he raises his child with you, both bless humanity with families ...
I am old enough to have regret, pride, and prophecies -
But those that stay despite diapers, dirt, bills ... walk the narrow way
That honor the Creator, The Originator
Of family as we knew it ... not always comedy, smiles, clear destiny
Yet family values touch our souls, and overwhelm us (Sister, Brother)
But the peace the world is weeping for, Dear President and CEO,
That shalom that makes us whole, and renews this Earth
Beyond the gold, diamonds, and minerals hidden in the dirt -
Is to honor all women. Some remind me of Ma's death, yet hard to swallow
