It’s here again
Mother’s Day
that wonderful Sunday
that comes each May
sweet treasures await
a wonderful time
a handprint in plaster
an original rhyme
a ceramic ashtray
although I don’t smoke
breakfast in bed
burnt toast, runny yolk
a card that took 80 minutes to make
with crayons, scissors
a whole roll of tape.
a small flower you planted
yourself just for me
a lopsided sculpture
I think it’s a tree
a handmade cross,
painted bright green,
a note, “IOU a gift
… love, your teen”
as you grow older
the gifts will transcend
store-bought finery
and flowers you’ll send.
and though every gift
I receive gives me pleasure,
it’s those lopsided gifts
from the heart that I treasure.
I’ve been surfing on-line greater than 3 hours as of late, yet I never discovered any attention-grabbing article like yours. It is pretty price enough for me. In my opinion, if all website owners and bloggers made good content as you did, the web might be much more helpful than ever before.
Oh, how true, how true. Gifts from the heart are better than store bought and new!
