Happy Mother's Day

On this Mother's Day,
Mothers around this nation
are given gifts of flowers, cards
spas and driven to brunches.

Mothers do deserve this day of appreciation
and all the pampering that goes with it
For on all the other days, they're the ones
who do the pampering, buying the gifts
and throwing parties for all others to enjoy.

From Eve in Eden to Eva of this century
Mother's have played a great role in building the nation
Neither Eve nor Eva could be said a perfect mother
for each had her own set of flaws and ups and lows in caring skill.

Because mothers of today are lured to become super moms
Evas of today have more things to juggle and worry about
than Eve of that day
who bore Cain and Abel
and clothed them with fig leaves and animal skin

Behind every great man stands a mother
whose selfless love taught him to love
whose earnest prayers led him to live rightGifts or no gifts, bouquet of flowers given or not
Mothers of any color, race or  age
deserve this day of celebration

So, let them know wherever they are
here on earth  or up there in heaven
that we do love and  honor them
and we cherish them for all their prayers, patience and perseverence!***
