Mothers' Day Thoughts

Pick out the flowers – pay through the nose; Vendors take all they can get, I suppose. Treat her to dinner, give her a kiss; Mothers have waited all year just for this. If she lives distant, pick up the phone; Tell her how much all the kiddies have grown. Mail her a package, pick out a card; Then you’ll be covered in that whole regard. Yes, it’s all hokey and silly and trite; Still, not to do it just wouldn’t feel right. This is the day we must all celebrate; Tomorrow won’t cut it - you can’t do it late. If you’re a mom, then enjoy all the fluff, Though really, it never could be quite enough. All of our efforts, while often ignored, Have taught us that motherhood is our reward.
