Mother's Day Is Here
it is Mothers’ Day
and all they wanted is a flower
for their mother but guards
will not accept flowers in the facility
maybe a card with a word or two may do
to tell her how much they love her
there’s nothing much to add
except to say they miss her
she has been away for decades now
birthdays weddings have come and gone
many births and deaths came and left
without a word from her
and they too have grown up
without her a deadness around their lives
maybe a card with a word or two
can tell her how they wished
she were at the window peeping
to see them sleeping nicely
