Caren Krutsinger Poet Light Verse

Mothers Wait

Mothers sit and wait a great deal of their lives
At dance recitals
At softball games
At skating rinks

Mothers sit and wait a great deal of their lives
Outside school buildings
Outside churches
Outside art studios

Mothers sit and wait a great deal of their lives
for some fathers to wise up
for some fathers to return
for some fathers to take their turns sitting and waiting
