On Mothers' Day

On Mothers’ Day the roses sell And restaurants are full, as well. In many cases, you can tell That it’s an obligation. For in our hearts, where feelings dwell, The calendar should not compel Us to succumb to Hallmark’s spell To pledge our adoration.

Love the mothers 24/7/365 and beyond! I agree, Irene, don't play the Hallmark game; just act normal and be thankful for the mother that birthed you. Smiles ~ Blessings, Bill
