Mothers Day Poem and Thoughts…. Indeed BEST JOB

Laughter of "Motherhood" matters not Who the Child is

MOTHER’S DAY:

On this day if you were to say only two lines to your mother, what might it be?
Perhaps…

Mother dear, you gave me a warm home when I did not even know the meaning of home
Mother dear, your arms protected me when I awakened you at all odd hours of the night
Mother dear, thank you for bearing with me when I was a teenager and thought myself so wise
Mother dear, I know there are millions of caterpillars in the cocoon waiting flight
Thank you for showing me flight even when I knew not I had wings to fly

And on this day I will leave you with a few of my thoughts as a daughter, a mother and a poet

Mothers day is a day to remember our place in the universe
Mothers day is a day to remember the womb that carried us to life
I myself am the youngest of six
I shared the gentle home of my mother’s womb with my 4 brothers and 1 sister
I myself have 2 young daughters and
They carry many eggs ready to be fertilized possibly one day into this life

The beauty of mother’s day is in remembering the not seen mothers
The one’s who bore a child but had no arms to hold the child
The beauty of mother’s day is to remember the orphans
that have found no warmth on a dark fever filled night
In remembering the invisible mothers that care for orphans like their own child
In remembering the young that go to old folks homes
to visit those that do not have a child to come and feed them lunch
In cleaning the dentures of the old woman that lives down the lane
In holding a bottle for a child in a hospital whose mother died at birth

Mother’s day is indeed a nice time to write a note to one’s mother on a leaf
or in the sand in the desert or by the sea
Mother’s day is also a nice day to buy a diamond heart
for the mother who was beaten by the drunk husband night after night
Most importantly for me mother’s day is the time to realize that male or female
anyone can be a mother anyone who touches a heart with a smile or a kiss
anyone who bears a light and lightens a heart and soul

A POEM ON MOTHERS

*The reason for the above picture of Dorian (Paul D) Mother and I, is that we had shared a laugh together about how tall Dorian is, but mother still said any young man could be and is like my son. Then later when Dorian had seen some pictures he said, it is like we could be related.. and it is true, so we are.
We are all related through our breath, through our song, through our voice, and our senses.
Happy mothers day to all those that have bore children inot this world, or have cradled a child in despair that was never theirs.
Happy Mother’s Day to all.

Although a hard job, but indeed a satisfying one.
Your child need not win an Olympic Medal, or even walk or talk.
You may not even be a mother or have a uterus, but if you love… unconditionally then I salute you today!!!!

Happy Mother’s day

Mother looking into the eyes of the world, Child not yet
Mother's Day

      Certainly dear friend. Mothers do keep things going, for with out them there would NOT BE. Thank you, the picture is beautiful, for the smiles are from the heart and not for the picture: ). Which line of the poem did you like most if I may ask…..

        “Honour thy father and thy mother, as the LORD thy God hath commanded thee; that thy days may be prolonged, and that it may go well with thee, in the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee.” – Deuteronomy 5:16
        Salute to all unconditional lovers and care takers!
        Bless your open heart as you are one of a kind who touches a heart with a smile, a kiss
        and bears the light and lightens a heart and soul. I Salute you too Bahareh

        Some things do not need to be understood, but only felt… yes with the heart. Listening to the heart beat of the universe through a mother’s eyes or through the formation of the warm in the cocoon waiting flight.
