The Best Day of the Year For Mothers

The Best Day of the Year for Mothers

By Elton Camp

All year the day’s anticipated
By mothers eagerly awaited

There’s no chance to sleep late
Yet the day they highly rate

It’s a time of the greatest joy
For those with a girl or boy

There will be hours of relief
From childcare’s daily grief

Since once they are out the door
For a time, they’re seen no more

The first day of school’s the best
Though she’ll enjoy all of rest

Mothers, taxes gladly pay
To support that glorious day
