Mothers Day

I cry for those without Mom this day
My sorrow deepens for you longing for her care
I miss her warm and loving embrace
Memory of a soothing smile and kind touch
My advocate, champion and ally

I weep for those without their children
Divided families split by divorce
Missing the connection and bond between parents
Those alone wondering why did it go wrong
Laughing kids, breakfast in bed and presents

You gave me life and watched me mature
Protecting my heart and nurturing my mind
Giving when only you could provide
Wisely challenging that I may grow
A brilliant plan you helped promote

This Sunday a special day for family
Children celebrate, it's for fathers too
Acknowledge those that guard innocence
Keep a faith unwavering, promote compassion
Point the way to ease life's burden

Mom, I will always carry you with me
Ageless reminiscence until my time is through
I follow your fine example
Keep your vision for me on track
Make you proud, a positive representation

Mommy, your child needs you most
Vulnerable souls that require attention
Mold and cultivate their indomitable fortitude
Responsibility unmatched, the most important gift
Providing always a trust unparalleled

I shed tears for those alone wanting you
Estranged or abandoned this special day
Sons and daughters from broken homes
Fate's cruel indiscretion, happiness gone astray
An obligation unfulfilled, satisfaction missing
