My Mothers' Day

My son made the arrangements – Got the flowers and the food. My husband, daughter, grandkids, In-laws rounded out the brood. We haven’t been together since Pandemic time began But Mothers’ Day and sunshine Formed the basis of the plan: A talent show indoors and then An afternoon outside, With space to play and lunch And even birthday cake supplied. The moms all got bouquets, My daughter frolicked with the grands And anyone with family, I’ll bet, surely understands That sometimes just a get-together’s All you really need To emphasize the love and help Despondency recede.

i'm so happy you were able to gather with your loved ones... we had a similar experience (minus the grands... not quite there yet) and it's true what they say - absence makes the heart grow fonder. belated happy mother's day to you ~ john

Good to know you enjoyed the day! I also hope all the women who behaved like mothers were appreciated for their kindness! Aloha! Rico

My mother always chastized me if I gave her real roses for Mother's Day – too expensive she'd complain and too short-lived. Plastic roses last much longer, she'd say. BTW, here in Westerly a single long stem red rose costs $12!!! / Maurice
