On This Day
Do you celebrate yourself today,
Remembering the birth
Of your child or children when they first
Drew breath upon the earth?
Or, instead, do you reflect upon
The one within whose womb
You developed ‘til the day your body
Craved a bit more room?
Or possibly, it’s neither
And your thoughts are drawn to those,
Like an aunt or grandma, whose embrace
Did tenderly enclose.
No matter whom you think about
When Mothers’ Day rolls ‘round,
I hope the spirit of the day
Within you does resound.
