like the stretching of a tree
yet unsure as leaves toward heaven
especially when you begin.
Motherhood must be
what makes the Goddess mighty
She supervises Her children
in tempestuous rain and wind.
Motherhood must be
like a never-ending story
seeking to craft a home with care
when, if not you, no one would be there.
How strong and light you truly are
Thank God they hitched my wagon to your star
Because as I ran amok, blind, deaf, and dumb
you still didn't give up on my bum.
Thanks! Happy Mother's Day!!
